Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 4 hours
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 chicken drumsticks or 6x chicken thighs
- 3 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 2 inch ginger piece, grated
- 2 bunches bok choy roughly chopped
- 1 bunch broccolini roughly chopped
- 4 spring onion finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- white rice or brown rice, to serve
Sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce light
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon corn flour
Instructions
Method:
- To make the sauce, combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Sear the drumsticks (or thighs) until golden on each side (about 2 mins each side). Remove and place in the slow cooker.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add a little more olive oil to the frying pan and cook the garlic and ginger for approx. 3 mins, stirring so it doesn’t burn. Add the sauce and combine. Pour into the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on high for 3 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender and the sauce has thickened up. Don’t let it cook too long or the chicken will start to fall off the bone. In the last 20 minutes, add the bok choy and broccolini and replace the lid.
- To serve: Add rice to bowls and top with the chicken and greens. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.
Notes
You can do this recipe in a casserole pot in the oven. Cook for 2 hours on 170 degrees until chicken is tender. Add the greens for the last 20 minutes.
You can use chicken thighs, just cut them into large pieces. It will take longer to cook – allow 4 hours on high in the slow cooker.
