Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients for a smooth cooking process.
  • In the slow cooker, stir together the honey, lower-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha, Shaoxing wine, ginger, sesame oil, and kosher salt until well combined.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a single layer within the sauce, ensuring they're coated nicely.

Cooking

  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5 hours until the chicken is tender and can be shredded easily.
  • While the chicken cooks, mix the water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized pieces.
  • With the slow cooker still on HIGH, stir the cornstarch mixture into the remaining sauce until it thickens slightly.
  • Turn off the slow cooker and return the shredded chicken to the sauce, then toss in the cooked lo mein noodles and sliced scallions.

Serving

  • Divide the noodle mixture evenly among 6 serving bowls.
  • Garnish each bowl with additional sliced scallions and a sprinkle of white sesame seeds.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for extra flavor. Adjust the Sriracha for spice level. For a different texture, consider swapping scallions with cilantro.
