Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1.5 cups Coca-Cola
- 0.25 cups Dark rum
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of cooking oil.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine Coca-Cola, dark rum, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring that all the pieces are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to cook on LOW for 4 hours (or on HIGH for 2.5 hours).
After the cooking time is up, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the chicken thighs from the crock pot and set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Turn the crock pot to the HIGH setting. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the remaining sauce in the pot and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the chicken thighs to the crock pot and coat them in the thickened sauce. Let them warm in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Serve the Rum and Coke Chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
