This delicious and tender bourbon chicken is made with juicy chicken thighs simmered all day in a flavorful brown sugar bourbon sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • ⅓ cup bourbon, whiskey, apple juice, or chicken broth
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cold water

Instructions 

  • Season the chicken thighs with kosher salt and pepper on both sides and place them in the bottom of your crockpot.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well to mix.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well-coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.
  • About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, mix the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the sauce in the crockpot to thicken it.
  • Once done, serve the bourbon chicken over rice and garnish with green onions if desired.
