Ingredients
  

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Cooked white rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, and ketchup until well combined.

    Place the chicken thighs in the crock pot, ensuring they are spread out evenly.

      Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated.

        Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

          Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot and set it aside on a plate.

            To thicken the sauce, stir in the cornstarch and water mixture into the liquid remaining in the crock pot. Turn the heat to high and cover; cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

              Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the crock pot, stirring to combine with the thickened sauce.

                Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
