ROASTED BOURBON-GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the bourbon, sugar, mustard, garlic, honey, vinegar and worcestershire in a small saucepan and whisk. Heat over high heat and allow it to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until mixture reduces by about half. Set aside and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the chicken. The glaze will thicken a bit at this time. In a bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Season chicken breasts on both sides with mixture, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. When finished, add chicken to an oven-safe baking dish. Pour half of the glaze overtop of chicken, add sage leaves on top if desired, then roast for 30 minutes. Half way through cooking, brush chicken with a bit more glaze. When chicken is finished, remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve with additional glaze for topping.

HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN

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.

HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN POPS

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.

• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip chicken breasts over and baste with reserved sauce.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Broil chicken and continue to baste and flip the chicken every 3 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
