3 tablespoons ancho chili powder
3 tablespoons pasilla chili powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground fennel seed
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon allspice
1 teaspoon chile de arbol
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup bourbon, plus 2 tablespoons
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, chopped

3 bone-in, skin-on breasts

Stir in 1/2 cup of the bourbon and cook until reduced. Add the ketchup and water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Pour into a bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon and allow to cool at room temperature. The sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Brush the chicken with the 1/4 cup of oil and season on both sides with the spice rub. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the chicken slowly, with the lid closed, until golden brown on both sides and fat has rendered. Begin brushing the chicken liberally with the bbq sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
  • Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Provided by Reynolds Kitchens(R)

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
2 cups Kansas City BBQ Sauce, divided (see below for recipe)
⅓ cup sliced white mushrooms
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
8 slices provolone cheese
¼ teaspoon Fresh cilantro or parsley
Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil
1 cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup yellow mustard
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons dark molasses
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • Measure out 1/2 cup of sauce and set aside. Pour remaining sauce into a large sealable bag. Add chicken breasts to bag. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon will come through in the sauce, so it's important to use a bourbon that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook it over medium heat and only until it is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Grilled chicken in Kentucky bourbon barbecue sauce goes well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken in Kentucky bourbon barbecue sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The bourbon barbecue sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the grilled chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
