Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 pound Chicken Thighs The star of the dish, they become tender and juicy as they soak up the bourbon sauce.

For the Sauce

⅓ cup Soy Sauce Choose low sodium for a healthier twist.
1 cup Bourbon Opt for a moderate bottle since the flavor intensifies during cooking.
½ cup Brown Sugar Balances the savory elements with sweetness.
3 clove Fresh Garlic Minced; if short on fresh, frozen garlic is a good substitute.
2 stalks Green Onions Chopped; adds color and a mild onion flavor for garnish.
2 tablespoons Cornstarch Essential for thickening the sauce.

Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by spraying your crock pot with cooking spray to make cleanup a breeze later on.
Place the chicken thighs evenly at the bottom of the prepared crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped green onions.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours.
If you desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry.
Once your chicken is fully cooked, carefully shred the chicken in the crock pot and serve.
