- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup Bourbon Whisky
- 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger

- Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.

- In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and water until dissolved and then pour this into the sauce in the slow cooker. Whisk together.

- To serve, sprinkle with the chopped green onions and savor over a bed of rice.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce before cooking. Substitute chicken thighs with breasts for a leaner option.
