Honey Bourbon Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, mix together the first 9 ingredients.
• Simmer on medium for 1 hour.
• Stir together corn starch and water and add to the still simmering bourbon sauce.
• Leave on medium heat which preparing chicken.
• Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Season with salt and pepper liberally.
• Heat a large, heavy bottomed, saute pan on high that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
• When it is smoking add chicken.
• Brown chicken on both sides and then add bourbon sauce.
• Let simmer for 2 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Stir together the bourbon, oil, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Use in place of your favorite chicken marinade.

Steps:

• Make sure the chicken is fully thawed. I bring it home and start on this right away. Put the chicken into a large ziploc bag. I like to use a bag as you can move stuff around better than with a bowl.
• Add the orange juice and honey to a saucepan and heat slowly to warm while stirring. DO NOT allow to bubble or boil. You pretty much just want the honey to melt into the juice.
• Using a garlic press (or a grater) crush the cloves into the honey-juice mixture while stirring.
• Slice the ginger into pieces small enough to fit in the garlic press. Using the same garlic press put sliced pieces of ginger into the press and crush into the stove top mixture. Or grate them is you find crushing too hard.
• I pick out the crushed bits of ginger and garlic and put them into the mixture as well. Use more ginger if you like ginger and less if you don't. I didn't use very much as the people who will be eating this don't care for ginger as much as I do.
• Pour the warm honey-juice-garlic-ginger mix into the ziploc bag on top of the chicken. I feel the bottom of the sauce pan before I pour. You should be able to touch it so that the mix wont melt the bag. If it is too hot let it cool a little bit.
• Add 2 table spoons of soy sauce on top of the chicken marinade mix.
• Chop the green onions and add to the bag.
• Using your hands on the outside of the bag make sure all the meat is coated and the soy and green onions are mixed up as well.
• Put the bag in the refrigerator and bring it out when ready to cook. After a few hours you can freeze the mix in the bag if you like as well.
• You can allow this to marinate for a few hours or more than a day. If you are planning on cooking the chicken in a pan in your oven a few hours should be all you need. If you are planning on grilling I would advise longer.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or smoker to 375 degrees F. (If using wood, I love cherry or apple wood.)
• Lop off about 1/4 inch from the top of a drumstick, and from the tip of the handle of the drumstick, using dry hands and a dry knife. (This way, you can stand them up straight, and it makes pulling the meat up easier.) About an inch up from end of the handle, where the bulb meets the handle, make a sharp cut that goes all the way around the handle (a 360-degree cut), making sure to cut through the skin, muscle and tendons. Push the meat up to the more bulbous end of the leg and remove the little bit of meat on the handle end. Repeat with the remaining drumsticks.
• Place the rub in a small sheet pan or flat dish and roll each drumstick in the rub. Place the drumsticks directly on the grill and cook, rotating a couple times throughout, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Dunk each drumstick into the Glaze and stand up on the grill until the sauce is caramelized and set, another 10 to 12 minutes.
• Combine in the bourbon, ketchup, vinegar, honey, mustard and brown sugar in a small saucepot and simmer for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the scallion and mix all but the chicken and peanut oil together in a bowl and whisk until well blended. set aside.
• Dice chicken thighs into bite sized pieces and sauté in very hot pan or WOK with the peanut oil until lightly browned on the outside.
• Add liquid mixture to the chicken and reduce heat to medium.
• Cook this UNCOVERED until liquid is reduced to a glaze on the chicken bites and chicken is fully cooked.
• Serve with your choice of side dish. Fried rice or Lo Mein noodles work well.

Steps:

• Whisk together water sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan until mixed well.
• Add Worcestershire, soy sauce, ketchup; mix well.
• Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cumin and sage.
• Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer for two minutes or until thick (Make sure its rather thick -will thin down when adding final ingredients).
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• Stir in vinegar and lemon juice.
• Let mixture cool in fridge for about an hour or longer to let the spices blend (a little less is ok if pressed for time).
