Honey Garlic Chicken

Happy Friday everyone!! Danny and I officially leave for DC in 3 weeks, can't wait!! Well, here is a quick and easy crockpot recipe for you guys. My crockpot cooks a little faster then normal so I cooked the chicken on low for only 4 hours. The sauce is so so good!

Ingredients
source: adapted slightly from Croutons and Cupcakes

3 cloves of garlic, crushed

½ cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons soy sauce

½ cup vinegar

½ cup honey

½ cup ketchup

4 chicken legs-thighs or breasts

Directions
Place the chicken in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt and honey. Pour over the chicken and cover.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Be sure to check the chicken periodically. My chicken was done after 5 hours on low. Remove chicken, place on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Transfer the remaining sauce to a saucepan and reduce down over medium heat until desired consistency is reached. I mixed a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and added it to the sauce and continued to stir and cook on medium heat until it thickened up a bit.

Serve a little sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh basil.

Serve chicken over rice with some broccoli or green beans on the side.

Enjoy !!
