Do you love Bourbon Chicken? Well, then you are just like my dear hubby. So when he said he wanted Bourbon Chicken, I was on a hunt for a recipe and came up with this Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken!

How to Make Bourbon Chicken in a Slow Cooker

UPDATED with a video from Mikey.

When I say I was on a hunt for a recipe, I mean I was on a HUNT! Of course, I started with my favorite Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks. I didn’t find Bourbon Chicken, but I did find Kentucky Wildcat Chicken in What’s For Dinner?. It looked pretty yummy, but not exactly what I had in mind…although, I do think I will be seeing if I can figure out how to convert it to a crock pot recipe!

Then I looked online and did a little research. It seems there is a little bit of a feud over how this dear chicken recipe got its name. Some say it is because it was created by a chef on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Others say it has its origins in Kentucky, the state with all the bourbon. Regardless, bourbon isn’t a drink of choice in this family, so I opted to use chicken broth. If this highly offends you or you just have bourbon in the house, feel free to use bourbon instead of chicken broth.

So just where did I find this recipe? I didn’t. I wanted to make it right. then. So I took a little bit of creative license on this one and gave it a try! Now, I know that can be dangerous at times, but this time it was awesome! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and the hubs and Ryder agreed!

Notes on Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken

  • For this quick and delicious Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken, I used my 3 qt crock pot. It was the perfect size for this smaller portion meal.

  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

*Note: For those of you who read the recipe before it was corrected, I am sincerely sorry that I forgot to put low as the cooking setting! And, of course, it had to be on one of the two days Michael and I actually go out on a date each year, so I didn’t have a way to correct it immediately. For that, I am truly sorry! I hope ya’ll can forgive me!

      I haven’t tried cooking this recipe on high but think it might work. The timing will depend on how hot your crock pot cooks, so watch it closely the first time you make so you can adjust the cooking time as needed. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.

      I haven’t tried adding it to the crock pot at the beginning. It might work, but I can’t say for certain without testing it first. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

    I only have one problem with my first time making this Bourbon Chicken. That I did not double the recipe. It was very, very good but between three people it did not go far enough. That’s ok as I printed off the recipe and will be making it again very soon. I look forward to trying some of your other crock recipes

    Are the chicken pieces you put in the the beginning “cooked or raw” chicken ?
    This sounds delicious and I want to do it right.

    Do you use chicken breasts or thighs? That might make a difference on the cook time.

      Hi Kathleen!

      You cut them into bite size pieces, so you can use whichever you prefer. Growing up, our family was always a dark meat family, but my husband love white meat. It is totally up to you! Enjoy!

      1 tbsp of water to 1 tbsp of corn starch
      remove chicken from crock pot, put it off to the side. Place sauce in crockpot to a pan for reduction process, once water/corn starch mixture combined add to pan. Cook on high until thickens but doesn’t char the sauce mixture. Hope this helps!
