BOURBONLESS CHICKEN



Bourbonless Chicken image

I found this recipe in the Chicago Sun-Times' 'Top 10 Recipes of 2004' but it's originally from 'The Sober Kitchen' by Liz Scott. This chicken tastes so much like bourbon chicken, though you don't need to have bourbon to prepare it. Smells wonderful while cooking! Prep time does not include the marinading time, which is up to you....several hours to overnight. The recipe calls for 8 chicken thighs, I made it with 5 thighs but kept the sauce at the same amount and ended up with lots of tasty, sticky sauce. My family liked this a lot!

BEST BOURBON CHICKEN

Bourbon Chicken is traditionally a Southern dish, and after moving to Pennsylvania from Oklahoma, I really missed this. I searched for a recipe I liked, but I couldn't find one, so this is my own delicious version, spiced up with ginger, fruit juice, red pepper, and a little Southern Comfort! Serve over rice.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup water
1 cup packed light brown sugar
¾ cup apple-grape-cherry juice
⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup peach-flavored bourbon liqueur (such as Southern Comfort ®)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ cup apple-grape-cherry juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy pan or Dutch oven, and brown the chicken pieces until lightly golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
  • In the same dutch oven, whisk the water, brown sugar, 3/4 cup of fruit juice cocktail, soy sauce, ketchup, bourbon liqueur, apple cider vinegar, garlic, dried onion, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger into the Dutch oven. Bring the sauce to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir the chicken back into the sauce, and bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened and the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken pieces to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Stir together 1/4 cup of fruit juice cocktail with the cornstarch until smooth, and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the sauce back to a simmer, let thicken for about 1 minute, and return the chicken pieces to the sauce. Stir to combine, and serve.
