Easy & Delicious Slow Cooker Bourbon BBQ Chicken

If you ask my family, my bourbon BBQ chicken is their favorite way to eat chicken. Being a Tennessee girl, and since Jack Daniels is just over an hour away, I’ve had more than my fair share of bourbon. But this recipe is my absolute favorite way to have it. And since it’s only three ingredients, it’s so simple that anyone can make this crock pot chicken recipe.

Bourbon BBQ Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 chicken leg quarters
  • 1 (17 oz.) bottle BBQ sauce of your choice (we prefer hickory smoke flavor)
  • 1/2 cup of bourbon (or whiskey will work if you have it on hand)
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions:

  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, pour in the BBQ sauce. Measure out the bourbon and pour it into the bottle, the shake it up to get out the last remaining sauce and pour it into the bowl. Mix the bourbon and bbq sauce together. Set aside.
  2. Trim up any excess fat/skin from the leg quarters, then pat dry with a paper towel. Salt and pepper each quarter on both sides, then dip into sauce mix and put into crock pot. Repeat for each quarter, then cook in slow cooker for 4-5 hours on high. Save the remaining sauce.
  3. Once the chicken is done, cook the remaining bbq sauce mix in a sauce pan until boiling for 2-3 minutes (to kill any chicken bacteria and to thicken.)
  4. Remove chicken from slow cooker then pour on thickened sauce.
