Crockpot Bourbon Chicken
CrockPot Chicken Recipes are essential in any Mom’s kitchen. Having a bunch of different Chicken Recipes that the family loves….that is a bonus! We have recently discovered this CrockPot Bourbon Chicken and it is definitely a winner.
You can even make the marinade ahead, pour it on the chicken in a gallon freezer bag, label, and freeze, for those busy days when you don’t have anything planned. The marinade seeps into the chicken to make it even more full of flavor!
