Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup bourbon, whiskey, apple juice, or chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt & pepper on both sides and place them in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. In a medium bowl add the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic. Stir well to combine. Pour over the chicken in the crockpot.
  3. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.
