This Slow Cooker Bourbon Chicken recipe makes chicken that is tender and full of flavor. The bourbon sauce adds a rich, sweet, and savory flavor to the chicken. It's great for busy days when you want a quick and easy meal that tastes great.
Ingredients: 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces. 1/2 cup bourbon. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ginger, grated. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 tablespoons water. Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish optional.
Instructions: Mix bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a slow cooker. Put in the chicken pieces and mix them around in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is soft and fully cooked. Make a slurry with water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add the slurry to the slow cooker and stir it around. Cook on high for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce gets thicker. If you want, you can serve it over rice and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
