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
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of cooking oil.
Step 2
Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring that all the pieces are fully coated.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to cook on LOW for 4 hours (or on HIGH for 2.5 hours).
Step 6
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.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve the Rum and Coke Chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
