Can you believe this meal is from a slow cooker? It is! Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken will be your new family favorite, trust me!
Can you look at that and not drool? I know I can’t! I have never cooked chicken in the Crock-Pot, I don’t know why. I have always cooked chicken in the oven. But when I saw the CrockPot Honey Garlic Chicken in our 40 Meals in 4 Hours Crockpot Freezer Cooking post I knew I had to give it a try. This was such a simple, easy to make recipe I knew that it was a must make!
It was so simple yet it tastes so good. The chicken was so tender and just fell off the bone. That’s the way that I LOVE chicken don’t you? Your family is going to love it and they are going to ask for it over and over again! I promise! SO GOOD!
I truly love my Slow Cooker and use it as often as I can – not just for Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken, but for just about any dinner (or appetizer or dessert even…don’t get me started!). Let me give you a few more of my favorite recipes to cook in the Slow Cooker when you need a delish, yummy dinner without all the headaches!

Hi Just wondering if this recipe would work with chicken breast or boneless thighs??
Many Thanks Clare
I have tried this with breasts and with boneless thighs (although I usually omit the bbq sauce and sometimes use dry basil in place of oregano) and it works with both although the boneless thighs are the tastiest imho.
What is the total weight of the chicken? I want to make with chicken breasts, but don’t know how much I should use.
I think that would depend on how many you were feeding. In the , we used 6 chicken breasts for 2 meals. If I remember correctly that was roughly 1 lb of chicken per freezer bag.
I have three pounds of drum sticks, should I double or triple the sauce ingredients?
I would double the sauce ingredients, but if you really like a lot of sauce you can always triple it.
Can I use frozen chicken or does it have to be thawed?
I have used frozen chicken in the crock pot before and it comes out fine. It may need to cook a bit longer though.
I have this in the crock pot right now, and let me tell you… It smells heavenly, I can’t wait for dinner time. Thank you for so many great recipes.
How much chicken is called for with this recipe?
I have a big family so when I make it I usually make 6-8 breasts or thighs and if I make it using drumsticks I make at least 12. Depends on how many you are cooking for.
Are your direction numbers out of order?
I don’t think so Eric 😉 Enjoy the chicken!
How many quarters per recipe?
I think you could do anything from 4-8 without adding any more sauce 😉 Enjoy!
Hello,
I cooked the chicken exactly as you stated. It came out looking nothing like the pictures. Although it tasted good it was pale and sickly looking. I made enough for 2 nights. I will put the left over batch in the oven, under the broiled.
What is your opinion please?
Thank you
Dorothy
Hi Dorothy!
Could be Rebecca used a darker honey or whatever. As long as the chicken is cooked that’s all that matters (yes broil it for a minute if the looks really bothered you – but not too long because you don’t want to lose the flavor.)
Do u have to put any water in the crock pot?
I made this recipe yesterday and I must say… Its delicious! So tender, so juicy and the seasoning\sauce was on point. My 2 year old daughter is a picky eater and she couldn’t get enough of it. Thank you so much I will definitely be making this again. (On a sidenote it didnt look like the picture did but who cares! It was sooo good)
