Honey Sesame Chicken
I love a sweet, sticky honey sesame chicken and this didn’t disappoint!
Equipment
- 6L slow cooker
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks *see notes*
- 1/2 cup honey (120mls)
- 1/4 cup kecap manis (60mls)
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add raw chicken to slow cooker.
- Combine all other ingredients and pour over chicken.
- Cover with "tea towel trick" and cook on low for 5hrs, turning occasionally for rich colour all over.
- Spoon sauce over chicken to serve.
- Notes:While I used drumsticks you could also use other chicken cuts like wings or thighs if you prefer. If using a fillet be mindful it will need less cooking time then bone in pieces. Kecap Manis is a sweet, syrupy style soy sauce, not regular soy. It is available in regular supermarkets, usually in the Asian foods section.This recipe is lovely served with fried rice and Asian vegetables. Also lovely with mash and steamed vegetables of your choice.This recipe is included in our Slow Cooker Central READY SET SLOW recipe book, available in our website shop 🙂

Thank you Paulene for the recipe???? ????
Want to make this so bad but can’t find sesame oil in my little town (near Botswana border). Can I use a substitute or will it alter the flavor too much? Thank you, much love!
You could leave it out Sanet – you won’t need to replace it with another oil.
It will affect the sesame flavour a little but if you don’t have it not much you can do – it will still be tasty 🙂
This was the first time my 11yo granddaughter tasted this recipe & she confirmed it was DELICIOUS.
Thanks for always taking the time to leave feedback Rita – you’re awesome!
I cooked it today for lunch, it was delicious.
I added lime juice in the last hour of cooking as I found it too sweet. I then added mushroom,capsicum and Asian green. Love the flavours and I’m already thinking about making it again😀
Thanks for always taking the time to leave your feedback 🙂
