"Once you see how delicious the results are compared to the canned stuff, it's life changing."

There are some foods that you probably always buy from the grocery store or order at a restaurant. But there are other dishes that just hit different when they're homemade - maybe a recipe teaches you some valuable lesson about cooking or maybe it just tastes better from scratch. So redditor u/scarf_spheal asked, "What is something you believe every cook should make from scratch at least once in their life?" Here's what home cooks had to say - along with a related recipe for each in case you want to try any for yourself.

1. "I think everyone should experience the taste of homemade tortillas, the kind that use lard for the fat. Make them with corn or flour. The taste is amazing, unlike anything you can get from a grocery store."

2. "Tomato sauce. Once you experience the simplicity of the process and the delicious results compared to the stuff you can buy in a jar, it's life changing."

13. "Tamales. Once you make them at home, you realize how labor-intensive they are and will appreciate them even more. They seem like such a simple dish, but they're really a lot of work."

17. "Gumbo. I made it for the first time last year, and it was the most labor-intensive meal I've ever cooked (so much stirring! - but It was also the best dish I've ever made. The gumbo got better as the night went on because it had been simmering on the stove for 10+ hours.

24. "Homemade banana pudding. it can be time consuming, but the result is so much better than anything you can buy. I grew up on my mom's banana pudding, which she made from the recipe on the side of Nilla Wafers box. It's not too difficult, and the final result is outstanding."

What's a dish that every home cook should make from scratch at least once? Tell us in the comments!

Save the white styrofoam container for a more desperate time-today we're making easy Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken. Its sweet, sticky sauce has all the allure of your favorite takeout but is made of healthy, natural ingredients. The recipe is only eight ingredients (nine if you are a stickler and count the rice), and if you cook Asian food regularly (meaning you own soy sauce), you have all of them in your pantry right now.

I regularly hear that you are constantly on the lookout for healthy, easy crockpot chicken recipes. As a fellow appreciator of keeping dinner simple (but delicious!) and healthy (but by no means "diet"), recipes like this slow cooker honey garlic chicken thighs are some of my absolute favorites to create.

The breezy ingredient list only takes a few minutes to stir together, the honey sauce merits nothing short of universal praise, and the leftovers easily pack for lunch and reheat like a dream.

About This Easy Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

The Ingredients

Chicken. I opted to make this a juicy and flavorful boneless skinless chicken thighs slow cooker recipe, but you certainly can make this a honey garlic chicken chicken breast slow cooker recipe. Either will be tasty!

Honey and Garlic. This is a seriously under appreciated ingredient combination. The honey gives the sauce its signature sweetness and stickiness, without the need for any additional sugar.

Soy Sauce. The salty ying to balance the honey's sweet yang.

Tomato Paste. Wait, don't go. I know that tomato paste sounds odd in a takeout-type recipe, but it gives the sauce richness and a touch of acidity. Don't skip it.

Chili Paste. (Also known as sambal oelek.) You can find it in the Asian or international food aisle of most major grocery stores (and even Target). If you don't have it, swap red pepper flakes. This dish isn't spicy, but you can always add more if you like a good kick.

Rice Vinegar. To make the sauce punchy and addictive.

Recipe Adaptations

To Make Gluten Free. Use gluten-free tamari in place of the soy sauce, and swap the rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar.

To Make Paleo. Use arrowroot starch in place of the cornstarch.

Tips for Cooking Chicken in the Slow Cooker

Choosing Between Breasts and Thighs, Bone-In or Bone-Out

As far as which type of chicken to use for this crock pot chicken recipe, you have options. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are what I used in this recipe. Dark meat is more forgiving, so it won't dry out as easily. If you like, you can certainly make this a slow cooker chicken breast recipe instead. Be sure to check the chicken early to ensure it doesn't overcook.

To make slow cooker chicken thighs bone in, I suggest removing the skin first so that the sauce doesn't become greasy. You will also need to extend the cook time. I'd estimate 4 to 6 hours on low, depending upon the size of your chicken. The same is true of slow cooker bone-in chicken breasts.

About Using Frozen Chicken for Slow Cooker Recipes

While it is safe to cook raw chicken in the slow cooker, the chicken must be thawed. Do not put frozen meat in a slow cooker. It will spend too long at room temperature and may not be safe to eat.

If you do have your heart set on cooking with frozen chicken-say dinner is around the corner and you just realized you forgot to pull the chicken thighs out of the freezer (not that this has ever happened to me before!)-I'd suggest my Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken, which can be made safely with frozen chicken thighs or chicken breasts.

How to Serve Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

Make this recipe more filling by adding a side dish, or turn it into slow cooker honey garlic chicken and veggies.

Veggies. Simply sauté or steam broccoli or mixed vegetables while the sauce finishes thickening in the slow cooker. I used a frozen stir-fry blend that I sautéed with olive oil, garlic, and a few shakes of soy sauce. Steam-in-the-bag microwavable frozen veggies are an easy option too.
Try your honey garlic chicken over the top of Sautéed Cabbage for a low-carb meal.

Rice. Pile the veggies over cooked brown rice (or cauliflower rice) with lots of the juicy chicken. Spoon the tasty honey garlic sauce generously over the top.

Salad. Tasty Asian-inspired, crowd-pleasing Ramen Salad would be delicious.

How to Store, Reheat, and Freeze

To Store. Store cooked and cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To Reheat. Reheat gently in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat, with a splash of broth or water if needed to keep it from drying out. You can also rewarm this in the microwave until heated through.

To Freeze. Place cooked and cooled chicken in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts

1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup honey

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons chili paste sambal oelek, sriracha, or hot sauce of choice

4 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

For Serving:

Prepared brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

Toasted sesame seeds

Chopped green onion

Instructions

Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. In a medium mixing bowl or very large measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, chili paste, garlic, and rice vinegar. Pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. If you are available, flip the chicken over once halfway through to coat both sides. (If not, don't stress; it will still be tasty.)

Remove the chicken to a plate and let cool slightly. Whisk the cornstarch into the slow cooker cooking liquid. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. If you'd like the sauce particularly thick, you can cook it for a full 30 minutes in the slow cooker OR follow the stovetop method below.

For quicker sauce thickening, reduce the sauce on the stove: After whisking in the cornstarch, transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring often until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. (If your slow cooker insert is stovetop safe, you can remove it from the slow cooker and place it directly on the burner, but do not do this unless you are POSITIVE your insert is stovetop safe or it may crack.)

With two forks (or your fingers if the chicken is cool enough), shred the chicken and place it in the slow cooker. If you reduced the sauce on the stove, add it back to the slow cooker now. Stir to coat the chicken with the sauce. Serve over rice, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

TO STORE: Store cooked and cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
