We made it back in one piece! We had a great vacation ~ it was great seeing our son and our daughter ran her first half marathon and did a great job! We are glad to be home and trying to get back in our routines. The biggest lesson we learned is that Mr. Meat Eater and I are too old to make a 12 hour drive in one day anymore 
I will probably not be posting every day this week but will be soon.
I love bourbon chicken but for some reason haven’t made it in a long time. I saw a recipe recently calling itself Bourbon Chicken but it doesn’t even have bourbon in it. I would have thought that was a prerequisite.
This recipe is very easy but does need time to marinate. Make sure you use the chicken thighs as I think they taste best in this recipe. as the white meat would dry out too much. I have made this using Splenda brown sugar instead of regular and I have made about half the marinade but if you do make half the marinade, make sure to use the full 2 tbsps. of bourbon. I usually serve with rice and stir fry vegetables.
Oven Baked Bourbon Chicken
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat and cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 lb dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons bourbon
Make marinade and add chicken. Pour into a large ziplock bag, and refrigerate several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Pour contents into a baking dish, cover, and bake at 350º for 45 to 60 minutes.
Serve over rice if desired.
Makes 4-6 servings.
Happy Cooking!

Very simple recipe. Thanks for sharing. Can I use something else if I don’t have soy sauce?

I think it really needs the soy sauce but I *might* sub teriyaki sauce in a pinch if I had that. I’m not sure it would taste the same but it would be good.

I think honey would be a great choice. I may try it that way as well. I am going to try the chicken breast too just b/c of health reasons. thanks for the recipe.

This sounds so delicious and easy! I’ll have to see if I can borrow some bourbon from someone and try this out!

That looks great. I may try and make it with honey instead of sugar and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos instead of the soy.
