Begin by mixing the marinade. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Take your chicken thighs and sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste. This seasoning ensures that even before the marinade works its magic, the chicken has a foundational flavor.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the crockpot. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Set your crockpot to low, cover it, and let the chicken cook for 6-7 hours.
Once cooked, serve the honey garlic chicken hot. You can garnish it with freshly chopped parsley or spring onions for an added touch of color and flavor.
