I really liked this recipe... Earthy is a great description for the bourbon flavor once the alcohol cooks off. I was afraid it would be like the bourbon chicken that you get in the mall, which is good, but not what I was hoping for....What kept me from giving the 5 star rating is that I read the previous review and cut back on the sugar. It was really good with just 1/4c not too sweet.
