  1. The reason it is called"Bourbon Chicken " is because of a Restaurant on BOURBON STREET in Loisianna,that makes it. That recipe made it famous so famous that they could afford to share it! SOOO,it does not have to have Bourbon in it! But once you have the recipe like everything else, you can change it, if you want to change it, and make it your own!!
     
  2. TRY WITH MANGO JUICE INSTEAD! By far my favorite recipe! Last week I went out and bought all the ingredients, and made it and it was so good, we decided to make it again tonight. I went to grab the apple juice and turns out we had drank it all, but we had some mango nectar, so I put that in instead, and turns out it tastes so much better!!!
     
  3. Yum! I used half the amount of chicken but left the amount of sauce the same. Next time I might use a touch less sugar. I don't know why it's called bourbon chicken when there isn't any bourbon in it, so I put some in.
     
  4. Very Nice, I doubled the sauce. I used bourbon, boneless skinless thighs, also added red/ yellow peppers and scallions.<br/>Will be making this one again!
     
  5. I have been looking for a bourbon chicken recipe that is close to a local cajun fast food restaurant near us and this comes the closest yet. Very good. I will fix it again, but cut the pepper amount in half---very hot! I also did not see how the author intended to finish cooking the chicken, but I assumed it was to be simmered in the sauce. I cooked it for 20 minutes and it seemed just right. I tripled the recipe to make enough sauce and also used 2 Tbs of corn starch.

Tweaks

  1. I believe it should say, after bringing mixture to a boil, add the chicken back in and simmer. It never says to put the chicken back in after lightly browning
     
  2. LOVED IT! I made it tonight for dinner and thought it was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe except instead of cornstarch & water, I used flour and water. Definitely will make this again!! Thanks!
