Preparation

Step 1

Review:  I used a crockpot liner to cook the chicken in.  It made the cleanup so easy and made the chicken so tender and full of flavor.  You can also make this recipe on the stovetop if you don’t want to make it in a crockpot.  This was great and I will be making it again!

1.  In a mixing bowl, mix together water, hoisen sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, and crushed red pepper.

2. If you aren’t using a liner for your crockpot, spray crockpot with cooking spray and add chicken.  Add sauce on top.

4.  Whisk cornstarch in the sauce to thicken it up.  If it isn’t quite to desired thickness, slowly add more cornstarch teaspoon by teaspoon.  But be careful because it can thicken up fast.

5.  Add chicken back to the crockpot and allow to heat through for another 15 minutes.


6. Serve over hot rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
