Maple Bourbon Sauce Recipes

MAPLE BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except for the whiskey to a large saucepan. Whisk to combine and heat over medium. Bring to a full (but controlled) boil. Reduce the heat and allow sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes, until thick.
• Add the whiskey and continue cooking another 5 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat and allow it to cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Transfer sauce to a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use. Sauce will keep for up to 3 weeks.
• Use as a meat marinade or for drizzling on all the foods ever.

BROWN BUTTER GARLIC-MAPLE BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a golden brown color, 5 to 7 minutes. Butter will foam and then settle down.
• Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in crushed red pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in maple syrup and lemon juice until combined.

MAPLE BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

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 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.

MAPLE BOURBON SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon in a shallow dish. Combine brown sugar, maple syrup and bourbon; pour over salmon; let stand 15 minutes. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add salmon; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 4-6 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm. Add walnuts, green onions and bacon to skillet; heat through. Serve with salmon.
