Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken 

Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken is a flavorful dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a rich, sweet, and savory sauce. The sauce is made with bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, and other ingredients, creating a delicious glaze that infuses the chicken as it cooks slowly in the crockpot. This dish is perfect for a comforting meal and can be served over rice or noodles.

🧄 Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1/3 cup bourbon (or apple juice for a non-alcoholic version)

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 3/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 3 tablespoons cold water

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

🔪 Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

3. Cook in Crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot and pour the sauce mixture over them. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3 hours.

4. Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce in the crockpot and cook on high until the sauce thickens.

5. Serve: Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred or serve whole. Return the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
