Creating Crockpot Bourbon Chicken is as straightforward as it is delicious. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in the crockpot.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
3. Pour Over Chicken: Carefully pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are coated.
4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
5. Thicken the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, take out 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid from the crockpot. Mix it with the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Return the mixture to the crockpot and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to thicken in the remaining cooking time.
6. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it back into the sauce.
7. Garnish: Add chopped green onions on top for a fresh touch.
8. Serve: Spoon the bourbon chicken over rice, making sure to drizzle extra sauce on top.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious, hearty meal ready in no time!
