Ingredients

  • 4 Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
  • 1 inch ginger root (peeled, minced or grated)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground if possible)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (or fresh coriander)

Instructions

  • Mix all of the ingredients (except the chicken breasts and fresh parsley) together in a large bowl or a Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and rub the marinade all over to ensure proper coverage. Get some of the marinade under skin as well. Marinate in a fridge overnight or up to 24 hours. I typically start the night before and get about 20-24 hours of marination. If pressed for time, go for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. The chicken won't have the same tenderness but will still taste amazing.
  • Transfer the chicken, and all of the marinade into a 6-quart slow cooker, positioning the chicken breasts skin side up.
  • Cook on Low for 3 hours. Switch the slow cooker to Warm to keep the chicken warm until ready to serve.
    Tip: baste the chicken in juices every now and again for better color.
