BEST BOURBON CHICKEN

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.

BOURBON CHICKEN

BOURBON STREET CHICKEN

Steps:

• I use a large skillet but a good sized pot will work beautifully for this recipe. Remember whatever you use has to hold all of the chicken pieces and the liquid.
• In a large skillet, over medium heat, place oil and wait until it shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Cook your chicken pieces until browned and no longer pink inside. I usually make mine bite sized and find that the easiest to eat and serve. Exact timing will depend on the size of your chicken pieces.
• While chicken is cooking grab a large mixing bowl and combine soy sauce, broth, cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, juice, crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne, ginger and garlic. Stir until everything is dissolved together.
• As soon as your chicken is cooked pour soy mixture into your skillet with your chicken.
• Bring to a good boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. You want to reduce the amount of liquid in the skillet or pot with your chicken. We use a lot and love to drizzle it all over rice or as dressing on a salad.
• Usually, I serve the chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to control the amount of liquid that is served but more often than not I don't even need to.
• Serve and enjoy!

BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a small bowl combine the ginger, soy sauce, onion flakes, sugar, bourbon and garlic powder. Mix together and pour mixture over chicken. Cover dish and place in refrigerator. Marinate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Remove dish from refrigerator and remove cover. Bake in the preheated oven, basting frequently, for 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is well browned and juices run clear.

BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by marinating the chicken. Mix 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon soy sauce with the chicken chunks, working it with your hands until the chicken has absorbed all of the liquid. Adding water and soy sauce to the chicken (especially true if using chicken breast) results in a moist and tender chicken experience!
• Once the chicken has absorbed the liquid, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into the chicken until well combined and set aside.
• Mix the sauce ingredients by combining the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, dark brown sugar, chicken stock or water, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan on high heat until just smoking, and spread the chicken evenly. Let the chicken sear on one side for 1 minute. Use a metal wok spatula (you can also use a rubber spatula if you can't use metal utensils on your pan) to turn the chicken and sear another minute. Turn off the heat and move the seared chicken to a plate. Set aside.
• Return the wok to medium heat and immediately add the ginger (if using), garlic, and minced onion. Stir-fry for 20 seconds or until the onion is translucent, taking care not to burn the mixture.
• Stir in the bourbon to deglaze the wok, most all of the alcohol will cook off leaving the flavor behind. After 30 seconds or so, pour in the sauce mixture and stir to further deglaze the sides of the wok. Once the sauce comes to a simmer, add the chicken back to the wok. Stir until the sauce comes back to a simmer and gradually stir in the cornstarch and water mixture (stir it up first, as the cornstarch may have settled).
• Continue to stir and cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat a spoon. At this point, you can remove the smashed piece of ginger or warn your guests so there are no surprises! Stir in the scallions and serve with steamed white rice!

BOURBON STREET CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple juice, ketchup, vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, water, black pepper and crushed red peppers to taste. (Do not add any salt since soy sauce is plenty salty.) Set aside. Heat a large skillet (that has a cover) over medium-high heat; when hot, add the olive oil and smear around with the back of a spoon to coat the bottom of the skillet evenly. Add chicken thighs; cover skillet and lightly brown on both sides. Drain off any fat off, if needed. Add the bowl of sauce to the chicken and cook, uncovered, until sauce is reduced and thickened and chicken is done, basting and flipping chicken frequently. Garnish if desired with sesame seeds and serve hot with fried, white, or brown rice. (Shown with vegetable fried rice from the nearby Chinese restaurant).
