Slice chicken breasts into bite size pieces and place in a large ziplock bag with cornstarch, salt and pepper. Shake until coated.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and half of the chicken pieces to the pan, shaking off excess cornstarch.
Fry several minutes until lightly golden, and add all the browned chicken to the slow cooker. Repeat for the remaining chicken.
Add the garlic, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey and water to the slow cooker.
Cook for 4 hours on low heat. (You may want to cook rice separately during this time.)
When ready to serve, serve chicken with optional red pepper flakes, green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes
Note: if your sauce is not as sticky as you want, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and cook on high heat for a minute or two stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
