Maple Bourbon Ketchup Recipes

MAPLE WHISKEY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ketchup, maple whiskey, apple cider, dark molasses, apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Whisk together over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 25 to 30 minutes. Sauce will thicken further upon cooling.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for future use.

STICKY MAPLE BOURBON CHICKEN

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.

MAPLE-BOURBON GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until golden.
• Add maple syrup, ketchup, bourbon and hot sauce. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or until sauce is reduced by 1/4 cup. Remove from heat.
• Whisk in mayonnaise until smooth.
• Grill chicken, turning once and brushing frequently with mayonnaise mixture. Cook until chicken is done and juices run clear.
