BOURBON STREET CHICKEN (Serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
– 6 chicken thighs, about 1 ½ pounds
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 teaspoon minced ginger
– 1/4 cup apple juice
– 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons ketchup
– 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– Red pepper flakes
– Green onions, chopped
Directions:
In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar and soy sauce together.
Place the chicken thighs into the crock pot. Pour the mixed sauce into the crockpot and over the chicken, then use tongs to coat the chicken thighs in the sauce.
Cook on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped green onion on top. Serve with steamed rice.
Expert Tip:
To slightly thicken the sauce once the chicken has finished cooking, remove about a cup of the sauce from the crock pot and mix it in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it come to a boil so that the cornstarch will dissolve and thicken, then stir it back into the crock pot with the rest of the sauce and the chicken.
