Crock Pot Honey Chicken

     This is one of my favorite meals to make for dinner. It's super easy and way delicious! Crock pots are almost like magical little portals- you just through things in it, come back later, and the magic crock pot fairies have assembled a meal for you. My favorite kind of crock pot meals are ones that don't cook for 8,000 hours. I mean really, that is torture. so here is....

Crock Pot Honey Chicken

Honey Covered Heaven. That isn't 8,000 calories! Win!

1 pound chicken

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/2 cup honey (can be more generous with this)

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup chopped onion (or 1/8 cup onion flakes)

1/8 cup ketchup

1 Tbs. vegetable oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes*

Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3 hours or on high 1 1/2 hours. Chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.

To bake chicken as a 30 minute meal:

Dice chicken and season both sides with salt and pepper, place in 8x8 pan. Pour sauce over chicken and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.

Serves 4 (if you can stop yourself from eating more servings!)
