Quick Honey Mustard Chicken By Grandma’s Kitchen… My grandma’s go-to trick for crazy busy days. Mix 4 easy things and pour over chicken for a yummy, sticky glaze that smells so good while it cooks.
This super-simple slow cooker chicken uses just 4 ingredients: honey, mustard, soy sauce, and chicken thighs. Toss it all in, let it cook low and slow, and get tender meat in a sweet-tangy glaze. Perfect for busy days—serve over rice or potatoes with veggies on the side. Family favorite!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
2 to 2½ pounds chicken thighs (no bones or skin, trim fat)
-
½ cup honey
-
½ cup Dijon mustard
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions: Quick Honey Mustard Chicken
- Put chicken thighs flat in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. They can overlap a bit, but keep them even for juicy cooking.
- In a bowl, stir honey, mustard, and soy sauce until smooth and shiny. That’s your magic sauce!
- Pour it all over the chicken. Spoon some under and around so every piece gets covered.
- Put the lid on. Cook it on LOW heat for 4-5 hours or HIGH heat for 2-3 hours. Chicken should be soft and hit 165°F inside. Sauce bubbles and gets sticky with brown edges.
- Stir chicken to coat in thick sauce. If too runny, cook on HIGH lid-off for 15-20 minutes more, stirring now and then, till it’s glossy.
- Taste sauce. Add honey if sweeter needed, or mustard for zing. Serve hot from cooker with lots of glaze on top!
- Pair with mashed potatoes, noodles, rice, green beans, peas, salad, or bread to sop up sauce.
