BOURBON CHICKEN

This chicken is great in flavor! I love it best served with some of my pot stickers and jasmine rice instead of regular white rice. You can serve this for dinner, a get together and potlucks! Note: Bourbon Chicken was named after Bourbon Street not after the alcohol like most would think.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon is the star of the show in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and rice. If it's too thin, it will run off the chicken and rice.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Bourbon chicken is best served immediately after it's made. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy and the sauce is flavorful.
