Making Slow Cooker Orange Chicken is a straightforward process that anyone can master, using these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker.

2. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until everything is well combined.

3. Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the orange sauce mixture over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated.

4. Cook on Low or High: Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Set it to low and cook for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shredable.

5. Thicken the Sauce (optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken once it’s cooked. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Stir it into the remaining sauce and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes.

6. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is ready, shred it using two forks and return it to the sauce to mix well.

7. Add Sesame Oil: Stir in the sesame oil for a nutty touch that enhances the flavor profile.

8. Garnish and Serve: Top your prepared dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

By following these simple steps, you will be rewarded with an incredible Slow Cooker Orange Chicken that’s bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.
