## **Tips for the Best Slow-Cooked Teriyaki Chicken**
– **Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.** They stay tender and don’t dry out as easily as chicken breasts.
– **Want a richer sauce?** Swap out honey for brown sugar, or add a splash of pineapple juice for a fruity twist.
– **Adjust the sweetness and saltiness** by tweaking the soy sauce and honey ratio to your preference.
– **Make it a freezer meal!** Combine all ingredients (except cornstarch) in a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When ready, thaw overnight and cook in the slow cooker as directed.
