Slow Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Street Tacos

These Slow Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Street Tacos are the real deal. Some of my favorite tacos to make. With or without the Bourbon.

I’ve read that the original Bourbon Chicken recipe was named after the Chef that created this recipe on Bourbon St. You could imagine my disappointment when I found out that Bourbon chicken did not include any Bourbon! I decided to make this Slow Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Street Tacos recipe the proper way – with Bourbon!

If you prefer your dish to be alcohol-free, you can easily skip that ingredient. It will not drastically change the flavor of this amazing dish.

I had some street taco flour tortillas on hand so decided to use the chicken to make some tacos. If you are not in the mood for tacos, you can also serve the chicken on a bed of white rice or even over a baked potato.

These tacos are almost as good as my Instant Pot Carnitas Made My Way tacos. I have a hard time deciding which I like more as Carnitas is one of my favorites. Additionally, make sure you read the Chef’s Notes below about the alcohol in this recipe.

How to Make Slow Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Street Tacos

Add the onion, garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, bourbon, Sriracha, and salt to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
Add the chicken breasts to the sauce and stir to coat both sides. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or if you are in a hurry on high for 2 1/2 hours.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred using two forks and stir well in the sauce.
Move shredded chicken and sauce to a large saucepan on the stove. Add cornstarch and mix well. Over medium heat, cook until sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
Serve in taco shells or over a bed of rice.
