For an extra layer of flavor, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the sauce. If the sauce appears too thin after cooking, you can thicken it by removing the chicken thighs and whisking in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water). Cook on High for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened. Garnish with extra sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a vibrant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame seeds, dry sherry, ketchup, garlic powder, and ground ginger until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the chicken thighs in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the prepared sesame sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. (2 minutes)
03
StepCover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness; it should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh. (360-480 minutes or 180-240 minutes)

Apr 5, 2025I was skeptical about using ketchup, but it really worked well with the other flavors. I'll definitely be making this again.
