Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Boneless Chicken Chicken Thighs
  • 1 Tablespoons cornstarch
Sauce Ingredients:
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the chicken thighs in a 6 quart crock pot. 
  2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.  Then pour this mixture over the chicken in the crock pot. 
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3 1/2 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender. 
  4. Remove the chicken.  Cut it into bite size pieces and set it aside. 
  5. Whisk the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water.  Whisk this mixture into the sauce in the crock pot. 
  6. Cover and cook on high for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.  Stir the chicken back into the crock pot. 
  7. Serve over rice and enjoy! 

Notes

  • The sauce can be thickened on the stovetop.  Pour the sauce from the crock pot into a saucepan.  Heat over medium high heat.  Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and heat until thickened.  Then add back to the crock pot.  
  • Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
  • You can use Apple juice instead of bourbon if you prefer.
