Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken Recipe
I decided to make this dish after realizing the house could not clean itself, and I knew I had to do a lot of spring cleaning.
I was in the mood for something Asian like, and my all time favorite when ordering out is honey garlic chicken hands down!
You can swap chicken breasts for a boneless, skinless chicken thigh as well. I opted to use boneless skinless chicken breast as I already had some in the freezer, and omitted the crushed red pepper as heat doesn't always agree with me.

I follow the recipe and the exact steps. Every time I make this it turns out in a broth like sauce-very runny. Any suggestions on what may be wrong? The sticky coating looks so delicious!
Bonne Cohn
Looks like the directions forgot to instruct us to coat the chicken in cornstarch and then add sauce
Jenn
No, the instructions are there. You add the sauce AND then add the cornstarch.
A
The instructions have cornstarch in the ingredients but never mention what to do with it. Do we coat the chicken? Make a slurry and add it in at the end? Not clear.

Pour cornstarch over chicken, mixing well. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
