Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken thighs with salt & pepper on both sides and place them in the bottom of the crockpot.

    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. 3

    Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.

    Add the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce 30 minutes before the chicken is done cooking. This will thicken the sauce.
