I really liked this dish. Anything with bourbon in it is a hit with me! I did cut back on the soy sauce to about 3/4 cup and added an extra tablespoon and a half of bourbon. Very, very good. We will be having it again.

This is a base recipe. Very flexible. I've been known to add in onions, white wine and a bit of crystallized ginger. Every time is a good time. Thank you, it's a yummy one!

I've never had Bourbon Chicken, so don't have anything to compare to. The predominant flavor was soy sauce. I couldn't detect bourbon or garlic. I suppose I thought the flavor would have more depth. Still not a bad dish--everybody cleaned their plates. Just not quite what I was expecting. Thanks for a new recipe to try.

Luvs2Cook, this was super. I took the liberty and made a couple changes. I doubled the sauce, added about a tsp. of red pepper flakes and I added frozen broccoli to give my guests a vegetable. I served it over steamed rice. A big hit and I have been asked to make it again. Thank you for sharing your recipe and helping in the the Recipe request forum.

This was very good! I made it for a party and everyone enjoyed it. I marinated it for about 26 hours. The chicken was tender and tasty and the left overs were wonderful.
