Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe.
- Tenderize the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts or thighs with a meat mallet to tenderize them and make them more evenly cooked.
- Use a good quality bourbon. The bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish, so choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan or the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Make sure the sauce is thickened. The sauce should be thickened at the end of cooking. If it is not, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to thicken it.
- Serve immediately. Bourbon chicken is best served immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Bourbon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
