For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the slow cooker after cooking. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Serve over rice or quinoa with steamed broccoli or other vegetables. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your spice preference.
