3/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup mirin
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours
Remove the chicken and shred with two forks
Mix cornstarch and water separately to create a slurry
Stir the slurry into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stir to coat, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce

Swap chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier texture
Freshly grated ginger provides a more vibrant, spicy kick compared to powdered
