Preparation

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a greased 6- to 7-qt. slow cooker.

In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, soy sauce, honey, ginger and sesame oil. Pour the mixture over the chicken, cover and cook on low heat until the chicken is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh away from the bone reads 165 degrees , about 4 hours.

Serve with the pan juices, sprinkled with 1/4 cup scallions.

Tip
GOT LEFTOVERS?
Make fried rice. Pull any leftover chicken meat off the bone and reserve with the sauce. Heat some oil in a skillet, add leftover cooked rice (yours or takeout) and stir-fry. Add a beaten egg and cook through. Stir in the reserved chicken and enough of the sauce to flavor and moisten.
