Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup bourbon
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Cooked rice, for serving
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Green onions, sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Place chicken pieces in the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the bourbon chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

You can substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs, but cooking time may need to be adjusted.
If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of brown sugar.
Ensure your bourbon is food-grade.
