Equipment

1 Crock Pot

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken thighs trimmed of all visible fat
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour I use Wondra
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup green onions sliced

Instructions

Evenly layer the chicken thighs in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker insert.
In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup, microwave the butter and flour together for one minute. Remove and stir. Microwave for 2 more one minute increments to create a microwave roux. The butter and flour will bubble up each time you microwave them.
Stir in each of the sauce ingredients until well combined - bourbon, marmalade, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, red pepper flakes and salt.
Gently pour the sauce over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low power for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken thighs easily shred or fall apart with a fork or tongs.
Serve the chicken and brown sugar bourbon sauce atop rice and garnish with green onions.
