Then there is a recipe that's been passed around Pinterest called 'Bourbon Crack Chicken -Crockpot Style', which is similar to 'Bourbon Chicken' from Chinese restaurants.
Well, I wanted to make a combo of the two because if I'm going to make a recipe called 'Bourbon Chicken' it should contain bourbon! I tried to ask why there was no bourbon in the recipe from Pinterest, but that food blog isn't accepting comments on that recipe! I even tried to get answers on other Bourbon Chicken recipes, but didn't get any responses! I hate when that happens! But I love this recipe because you just throw everything into the crockpot and in 4-8 hours it's done!
So here is my version of Bourbon Street/Bourbon Crack Chicken...
