Well now, let me tell ya about this real easy recipe for making slow cooker honey soy chicken noodles. If ya ain’t got much time and ya want somethin’ tasty, this is the one for ya. Ain’t no fancy stuff needed, just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it do its magic.
First thing, you get your chicken ready. I usually use chicken thighs, they’re nice and juicy. Don’t be botherin’ with fancy cuts, thighs work just fine. Put them straight into the bottom of the slow cooker, no need to worry ‘bout it lookin’ pretty, just dump it in there.
Then you take your soy sauce, the dark kind works best, and pour it over the chicken. Don’t skimp on it now, you want that flavor to soak in. After that, get some honey and drizzle it all over. It’ll give it a nice sweet taste, just right for cuttin’ through the salty soy. I tell ya, it’s a perfect match.
Now, grab a bit of cornflour, just a spoonful or so, and mix it with a couple tablespoons of cold water in a little bowl. You don’t need a whisk or nothin’, just stir it with a spoon till it’s all smooth. This’ll help thicken up the sauce a little bit.
Next up, throw some garlic in there. I always say the more garlic, the better, so don’t be shy. If you got sriracha sauce, add a little splash to give it a nice kick. Not too much though, unless you like it hot like the summer sun!
And if ya want, you can add some chicken stock to make it all a bit juicier. Pour it in, but don’t drown the chicken, just enough to cover the bottom and mix with the soy and honey.
Now, here’s the fun part. You might be wonderin’ what about the noodles? Well, you don’t gotta cook ‘em separate like you might think. You just toss them dry into the slow cooker, right on top of the chicken. They’ll cook up nice and soft in all that tasty sauce. Ain’t that a time-saver? No pots of boiling water needed!
Once you’ve got everything in the pot, cover it up and set your slow cooker on low. Let it cook for about an hour, or until you start smellin’ that goodness comin’ from the kitchen. By the time an hour’s up, the chicken will be fallin’ apart and the noodles will be soft and soaked in all the flavors.
Now, you can take the lid off, stir everything up real good so all the noodles get a nice coat of that sauce. You’ll see the chicken just shred apart all nice and tender, and the noodles will soak up all that soy and honey goodness. It’s a beautiful thing.
If you wanna add a little extra somethin’, you can throw in some veggies. Just pick whatever you got—carrots, bell peppers, peas, or even some broccoli if that’s what you like. The slow cooker will take care of ‘em, and they’ll be just right.
When it’s all done, you got yourself a big ol’ bowl of honey soy chicken noodles. Ain’t no fancy restaurant could beat this meal. It’s simple, easy, and sure to fill ya up.
