For a dish better than takeout, whip up this finger-licking chicken teriyaki topped with sesame seeds and fresh scallions!

This Paleo-friendly recipe is made from a list of simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. Plus, with just 10 minutes of hands-on prep time, you can sit back and relax as your slow cooker works its magic!

Start by mixing coconut aminos, water, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and mix well until all the chicken is covered in sauce. Transfer the chicken and sauce to your slow cooker, set to high, and cook for 3 hours. Alternatively, you can set the crockpot to low for 6 to 7 hours for even juicier chicken.

Once the chicken is cooked through, scoop out some of the sauce and simmer it in a large skillet for 5 minutes, until it is reduced to a thick mixture.

Serve the chicken drumsticks ladled with the teriyaki sauce from the skillet, and sprinkle white sesame seeds and freshly sliced scallions for garnish. For a complete takeout-style meal, serve over a bed of cauliflower rice!

Tip: If you prefer the teriyaki sauce to be thicker, add a bit of tapioca starch to the skillet until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
