⅓ cup bourbon or whiskey, apple juice, or chicken broth
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with kosher salt and pepper on both sides and place them in the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium bowl, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine and pour over the chicken in the crockpot.
Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.
