WAY TO MUCH BOURBON. Previous recipe here had 1/2 C. Bourbon and 2 T wine for sauce. (I have a print of it). A reader had recomended using 1/4 C. Bourbon. I have made the recipe several times using the 1/2 C. but not marinating overnite, just a few hours, the recipe was very good. <br/> Last week, with great fear and anxiety, I took this recipe to a Church Potluck using 1/4 C Bourbon and marrinated overnite. I doubled the recipe and used 5 # chicken tenders cut in chunks. I added enough cornstarch to make the sauce a glaze, (using wine). It was such a hit that I have got to get the recipe to 6 or 7 folks. (Good thing it is a small Church). Excellant, Excellant recipe. Just Hold The Bourbon....

I agree. Way to much bourbon. Do not increase the marinade when making larger batches. Unless you're making like 15 pounds. Even then, be careful. Any bourbon will do, (go cheap). If you marinate over night, cut back the bourbon even more. If the marinade is not totally covering the chicken when baking, stir more often, (every 10 min.). I also thickened with cornstarch. Really good over mashed potatoes, as my family members are not big rice eaters.
