No-Peeking Peking Chicken

Here's a slow-cooker chicken recipe that is very reminiscent of Peking Duck. Serve with white rice for an easy, elegant, Asian dinner.

No-Peeking Peking Chicken

Ingredients

SLOW-COOKER STUFF:
8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 lbs.), skin discarded
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup chopped scallions (about 6)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
OUT-OF-THE-POT INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup chopped scallions (about 2)

Directions:

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