To a 5-6 quart slow cooker, add 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs or breasts, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup chicken broth, ½ cup honey, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger.
Stir everything together, cover, and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches 165°F.
Stir the chicken to break it into bite-sized pieces, or remove it and shred it with two forks before returning it to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces lo mein noodles noodles according to the package directions. Drain well.
Add the noodles to the slow cooker and toss to coat in the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired, and serve.
