Notes

Use whole chicken breasts, tenderloins or thighs.

Swap the onion powder for ¼ cup fresh white onion.

If you don’t have chili crisp, use sesame oil mixed with a ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or even sriracha. Adjust the heat to your personal preference.

Since slow cookers pay vary, be sure to check it and stir it about halfway through to make sure it’s not overcooking. If the sauce his too thick, add in 2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth.
