Rooting Tooting Bourbon Chicken

Submitted by Kat's Mom

"This is one easy recipe. The chicken turns out moist & delicious with a perfectly balanced flavor. The taste does not give away the fact that it uses bourbon, beer or so much seasoning salt. Found this recipe on www.EvanWilliams.com and it is the Kentucky State Fair 2005 3rd Place White Ribbon winner from Brenda Tilley."
