Bourbon Chicken

I searched and finally found this recipe on the internet. It is a copycat of the Bourbon Chicken sold in Chinese carry-outs in my hometown. This recipe is so good that my sons gobble it up leaving me just a spoonful. Their excuse was they thought I had eaten.

This was too salty, though the flavor behind the saltiness was really good. Next time will use a lighter soy sauce or less. I think it would be great with a veggie mixed in and will do that next time too. I think the sauce will have to be doubled to cover it all. I will try this again.

    I tried this last night for dinner, and was thrilled with the results (DH was too!). Followed the recipe but added some wedges of onion and a little green pepper. I did add a small amt. of cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and then served over brown rice. Flavor was fantastic! This is a very simple recipe for weeknight dinners, which I love. Many thanks!

    Loved this recipe. Used orange juice instead of apple juice, balsamic instead of cider vinegar, and it still turned out great. Thank you.

    Excellent recipe. I must confess when it was first published I enquired if the burbon had been left out of the recipe (I had never heard of Burbon Chicken) but can assure you that no burbon is needed. I served it over rice as suggested with oven baked asparagus and a carrot salad - fabulous meal. I used hot pepper flakes and fresh garlic (3/4 tsp) Nice heat great recipe thatnks LinMarie
