The Asian inspired sauce is what makes this chicken dish delicious! All you need is Go-chu-jang, garlic, sweet chili sauce, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, MSG(or salt), sesame oil, brown sugar and hoisin.

Mix it together with the chicken, cook on slow for 5-7 hours in your slow cooker and then you’ll shred the chicken. Add a cornstarch slurry and cook for 30 more minutes to thicken to sauce and voila! Crockpot recipes are always my favorite when I want an easy dinner.

Is cooking with a crock pot easy?

Cooking using a crock pot is very easy to do. Just layer your food into the crock, set it and forget it! It really is that easy. I find cooking on low and slow has a better end result.
