Steps

• Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Minced the garlic cloves finely to ensure even flavor distribution.
• Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, black pepper, and salt. Whisk them together until you achieve a uniform consistency. The sweet and savory notes will balance beautifully in this mixture.
• Arrange in Slow Cooker: Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they're spread out evenly. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
• Cook the Dish: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The low and slow cooking allows the chicken to soak up all the delicious flavors and become incredibly tender.
• Final Touches: About 15 minutes before serving, give the chicken a gentle stir in the sauce to coat it evenly once more. The aroma should be irresistible!
