1.5 lbs chicken thighs
soy sauce (barely coat the bottom of the crockpot)
honey (2 scoops)
balsamic vinegar, maybe 1 tsp
Mix the soy sauce, honey and vinegar in the bottom of the crockpot. Add chicken, cook ~1.5 hrs until chicken is done. Remove sauce and thicken in a saucepan until reduced by half. It was still thin, put back in the crockpot with the chicken and keep warm until serving.
