Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 750g (1.7 lb) chicken thigh
  • 1 tsp garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • ½ tsp red chili flakes
  • 4 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 250ml (8.5 fl oz) chicken stock

Thickening Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Add the chicken thighs, crushed garlic, minced ginger, sliced carrots, red chili flakes, soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and chicken stock into the slow cooker.
  2. Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the ingredients for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to blend and the chicken to become tender.
  3. Remove Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
  4. Make Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until it forms a smooth paste.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Pour the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the cooking liquid.
  6. Return Chicken: Place the chicken back into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low, or until the sauce is hot and has thickened.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once thickened, serve the Mongolian chicken hot, ideally over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for more tender and juicy results compared to chicken breasts.
  • Adjust the red chili flakes to control the spice level.
  • Thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry to get the perfect consistency.
  • Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
