Instructions

In the basin of your crockpot, combine the BBQ sauce, dark brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic and ginger. Remove ½ cup of the sauce to a small bowl. Cover the bowl and place it in your refrigerator.
Add the chicken to the crockpot and mix until all the chicken is coated in sauce.

Notes

The sauce makes the perfect ginger chicken marinade! Allow the chicken thighs to marinate in the refrigerator overnight to infuse more flavor and to help with preparation.
Store leftover ginger garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Try using a bone-in chicken to add even more depth and richness to this slow-cooker ginger chicken. Just be sure to extend the cooking time and use a thermometer to check for doneness.
