Sticky Maple Bourbon Chicken image

This recipe is a match made in heaven between bourbon, fresh thyme, and maple syrup. It's also a really cool method that is universal for preparing almost anything. The basic idea is that whatever is being cooked (pork, vegetables, or in this case, chicken) is made delicious and "sticky" by adding a sweetener to a pan sauce and then reducing it while dinner cooks in it.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-ounce) bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 shot bourbon
4 sprigs thyme

Steps:

  • Place a large heavy-bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan breast-side down and sear until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • While the chicken in searing, in a small dish whisk together the stock, syrup, and bourbon. Add the bourbon mixture to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency before the chicken has cooked through, add a few splashes of stock to the skillet and continue cooking.)
  • To serve, remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Spoon the sticky sauce over the chicken and enjoy warm.
