Creating Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
3. Add Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and pour the honey garlic sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving.
6. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring to combine with the sauce.
7. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.
