Ingredients 🛒

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, fresh or ground
• Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker 🍗

Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer.

2. Make the Sauce 🥣

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• honey
• soy sauce
• minced garlic
• ginger

Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

3. Pour and Cook ⏲️

Pour the honey-soy sauce evenly over the chicken.

Cover with the lid and cook on:

• LOW for 6 to 7 hours
• HIGH for 3 to 4 hours

The chicken should be tender and easy to pull apart when it is done.

4. Add the Cashews 🥜

About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the cashews.

This lets them soften slightly while still keeping a little crunch.

5. Shred and Serve 🍚

Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, shred it right in the slow cooker using two forks.

Stir everything well so the chicken gets coated in that sweet and sticky sauce.

Serve warm over fluffy cooked rice.
