Calories: 396kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast or thigh
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 4 burger buns
For the sauce:
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Chinese rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Combine chicken and sauce ingredients (except for the cornstarch) in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- When done, shred the chicken in the pot. Turn heat to high. Mix together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour it in the pot. Stir to combine. The sauce will thicken. Turn off the pot. Pour in the sesame seeds.
- Toast the buns, if desired. Serve the shredded chicken on the buns.
Notes
- If your crockpot doesn't heat up enough to thicken the sauce, you can transfer it to the stovetop to thicken, or you can just use a slotted spoon to drain off the sauce before putting it on the buns.
