Bourbon Chicken
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
A flavorful chicken dish named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana
This was a copycat recipe I found & modified of the Bourbon Chicken sold in most Chinese take-outs; which rarely use bourbon as a component. It's wonderfully sweet & spicy without being too hot. For kids that don't like hotstuffs, cut down on the pepper flakes!
"Adjusted this 4 serving to 6 servings and made it exactly as directed... was a bit too "soy" flavored for us and not enough sweet. next time, we will adjust to use less soy sauce and a little more apple juice. Next day leftovers were even tastier as the sauce had soaked into the chicken and gave it a "marinated" flavor as opposed to the stronger sauce of the day before. I look forward to further tweeking the recipe, making ahead of time, and freezing large portions for make ahead meals later on. was great served with lumpia rolls and steamed broccoli. :) " - TheRosieButterflyYield: 4 Servings Ready in 30 minutes

Notes Bourbon Chicken Preparation
Heat oil in a large skillet.
Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
Remove chicken.
Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well blended and dissolved.
Add chicken and bring to a hard boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
Serve over hot rice.
Notes
I also like to mix about 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce (found in the asian food section of the grocery store) in with the ketchup for additional heat. Do it if you like it spicey!

This recipe was so simple & soooo good!! I'll never eat carry-out bourbon chicken again! Loved it!!!
|
|
I made this recipe for company and it came out great. The only thing I did was cut the spice a little and add some more sugar to even it out. It was very flavorful and plenty spicy.

Omg this recipe is to die for!!! It is now my boyfriend's favorite and I make it all the time! Ive substituted the apple juice for cranberry juice (when im out of apple juice) and I think the result might even be better.. definitely a must have recipe :)

Made this using the 6 serving version. However, I only used 3/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. It was great! Slightly spicy, but not too much for me. I'm kind of a sissy that way. My family liked it and said to definitely make it again.
|
|
Good and easy!
|
|
|
When I first smelled the sauce all I could think was oh no this is going to be way too strong with soy sauce. Man was i wrong! Try it, you will love it!

Made this again, was truly satisfied.

I make it all the time..what I like about it, its a one pan dish...and I have even gotten to the point where I just eyeball all the ingredients. I do use boneless skinless chicken thighs though. Made this today for a family who's mom has cancer..I try to make them something different each week. Hope they like it.

Kids loved it, not to spicy but had a little heat. It's in the normal dinner rotation now. Very simple dish to make.

Awesome!! I added the cornstarch to make it more like a gravy and it was SO good. Definitely making again and again!!
