Preparation
Make the Sauce:
In a mixing bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and onion soup mix until combined.
Thicken:
Whisk the cornstarch into the water until smooth, then stir into the sauce mixture.
Assemble:
Lightly coat the insert of your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken in the slow cooker, then pour the sauce over the chicken. Toss gently to coat.
Cook:
On Low: 5 hours
On High: 3 hours
Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Optional:
For a stickier sauce, you can transfer the liquid to a small saucepan after cooking and simmer it for a few minutes to reduce.
Serve and Enjoy!
