INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
  • 5 tsp. hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. cold water
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Add chicken to a slow cooker. Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, hoisin sauce, ginger and garlic; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Transfer chicken to a platter; keep warm.
