Ingredients
6 chicken thighs, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 /4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
Red pepper flakes
Green onions, chopped

1. In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar and soy sauce together.

2. Place the chicken thighs into the crockpot. Pour the mixed sauce into the crockpot and over the chicken, then using kitchen tongs to coat the chicken thighs in the sauce.

3. Cook on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.

4. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped green onions on top. Serve with steamed rice.

Expert Tip
To slightly thicken the sauce once the chicken has finished cooking, remove about a cup of the sauce from the crockpot and mix it in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it come to a boil so the cornstarch will dissolve and thicken, then stir it back into the crockpot with the rest of the sauce and the chicken.
