  1. In your slow cooker, combine the honey, seasoning, and coconut aminos by stirring.
  2. Stir the chicken in once more to coat it in the sauce before adding it.
  3. In a slow cooker, cook on low for four to six hours. You can also make use of a pressure cooker or instant pot. In the instant pot, add the chicken and sauce. Using the manual setting, cook for eight minutes on high. Allow the teriyaki chicken to sit in the pot for 5 minutes after it has finished cooking to naturally release the pressurized steam. To let any remaining steam out, use the end of a wooden spoon to flip the release valve.
  4. Remove the chicken from the crockpot or instant pot with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
  5. Pour the sauce out of the crockpot through a strainer and into a medium-sized pan.
  6. Over medium heat, cook the sauce until it is reduced, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  7. Add the chicken to the pan with the sauce once it has thickened. Mix and serve.
