- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Combine and Cook
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all the chicken is well-coated.

Tips
- For Extra Flavor: Marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
- To Save Time: Use pre-minced garlic and pre-chopped onions.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through.
