BOURBON CHICKEN



Bourbon Chicken image

A favorite named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana and for the bourbon whiskey ingredient; although this dish, sold as Cajun-style cuisine in malls all over America, is reported to be nothing of the kind (not genuine Creole or Cajun fare)! Note: If you double the recipe, make sure that the chicken is still in a single layer. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups unsweetened pear sauce (like applesauce, but pear)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Juice of 2 lemons (save the rinds for the chickens)
Two 3- to 4-pound chickens
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 bulb fennel, quartered, fronds reserved for garnish
1 bulb fennel, shaved on a mandolin (or sliced very thinly), fronds reserved for garnish
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the pear butter glaze: Combine the pear sauce, sugar, bourbon, cardamom and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until it reduces by half, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the glaze to slather on the chickens as they cook, and the rest for serving.
  • For the roasted chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pat the chickens dry and sprinkle liberally all over with salt and pepper. Divide the rosemary, lemon rinds and fennel between the cavities of both chickens. Tie the legs with butcher's twine and tuck the wings under the chickens.
  • Place the chickens in a roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and slather the chickens generously with the reserved pear butter glaze. Roast until the juices run clear when pricked, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow for carryover cooking.
  • For the fennel salad: Meanwhile, toss the shaved fennel with the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and place on a platter.
  • Slather the chickens generously with more of the pear butter glaze and put the chickens on top of the shaved fennel salad. Garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with the remaining glaze.

Provided by DOMESTICDIVA

Number Of Ingredients 17

[glaze from my bourbon-glazed salmon]
serves 4-6
4 large, bone-in split chicken breasts (mine totaled 4.8lbs)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups bourbon
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground mustard
sage, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the bourbon, sugar, mustard, garlic, honey, vinegar and worcestershire in a small saucepan and whisk. Heat over high heat and allow it to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until mixture reduces by about half. Set aside and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the chicken. The glaze will thicken a bit at this time. In a bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Season chicken breasts on both sides with mixture, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. When finished, add chicken to an oven-safe baking dish. Pour half of the glaze overtop of chicken, add sage leaves on top if desired, then roast for 30 minutes. Half way through cooking, brush chicken with a bit more glaze. When chicken is finished, remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve with additional glaze for topping.

DELICIOUS BOURBON CHICKEN GLAZE



Delicious Bourbon Chicken Glaze image

Similar to Subway's sweet and spicy glaze. Tastes wonderful on chicken (personally I like to melt some American cheese on top and make a sandwich). I'm sure it would go well with pork or any other white meat also... enjoy! Todd Wilbur- TSR recipe * consider if mixture ends up too acidic add some extra sugar and vice versa if its too sugary add an extra half to whole tablespoon of vinegar

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Whisk together water sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan until mixed well.
  • Add Worcestershire, soy sauce, ketchup; mix well.
  • Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cumin and sage.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for two minutes or until thick (Make sure its rather thick -will thin down when adding final ingredients).
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Stir in vinegar and lemon juice.
  • Let mixture cool in fridge for about an hour or longer to let the spices blend (a little less is ok if pressed for time).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon will come through in the glaze, so it's important to use a bourbon that you enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through. To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all great options.

Conclusion:

Roasted bourbon glazed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The bourbon glaze gives the chicken a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try!
