Last week I tried fellow foodie Drick's Bourbon chicken. I wish I had followed his directions to the letter and used chicken leg or thigh meat instead of substituting breast meat. This was good...but would have been much better had I used the darker meat. You can check his site out HERE.
I used the following ingredients......
* 1 pound chicken breast, cut in bite size chunks
* 4 oz soy sauce
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
* 1 tsp. powdered ginger
* 2 tbs. dried minced onion
* 1/2 cup Jack Daniels Bourbon Whiskey
* 2 tbs. white wine
I mixed the marinade ingredients and tipped nit into a freezer bag with the chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake chicken at 350 F for one hour, basting frequently...about every 15 minutes. Remove chicken.
Scrape pan juices with all the brown bits into saucepan. Heat, and add 2 Tbs. white wine. Stir and add chicken. Cook for 1 minute and serve over white rice.
Served also with Le Petit Francais..............
And a side of steamed green beans with bacon...and a glass of wine....
Will I make this again? Absolutely! But I will use chicken thighs instead.
Hop on over to Drick's Rambling Cafe for some great recipes if you have chance.
Cheers!
My friend and I were just talking about how we loved to serve saucy meat over rice. Something about it is so satisfying. This looks absolutely delicious!!
ReplyDeleteBon appetit!
ReplyDeleteGreat portion control! I am soooo bad at remembering to marinate. Too much advanced planning. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a chain in our local mall food courts that sells Bourbon Chicken. My hubby usually doesn't like an alcohol flavored foods, but he loves that chicken!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for trying this and for the mention - did not know which one you were trying - I have two very different recipes on my site for bourbon chicken
ReplyDeleteKim- You will like this one then...there is definitely sauce!
ReplyDeleteLaura- thank you :-)
Joie- Yeah, I am bad about marinating too. I leave a reminder on my fridge to help.
Janel - I think everyone likes that foodcourt bourbon chicken!
Drick- Really? I did not know that and I'll have to go check your blog when I get back home. I'm in New Port Richey and the hotel internet connection is real crap. Can't go too many places.
Hi Tina! You KNOW I'm all for this, did someone say Jack Daniels! I think I'll try it with thighs too. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteLouise - Yes, do try it with thighs and I am off to search Drick's other bourbon chicken recipes! Thanks for coming by:-)
