Honey Bourbon Bbq Chicken Breasts Recipes

HONEY BOURBON BBQ GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat your chicken dry and trim where necessary.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine barbecue sauce (I used Spicy Jack Daniels BBQ), honey and Whiskey/Bourbon and stir until smooth and fully blended.
• Oil grill, heat to med-high. When Grill is hot, place chicken on grill and cook (depending on cut used) until done flipping once. When placing the chicken on the grill do not brush the face down side with the sauce, brush the topside (separate a bit of sauce from the rest for this so you don't contaminate the rest with raw chicken then wash basting brush)., when you flip it, then brush the other side and cook until done.
• Remove from grill and brush both sides of the chicken with more sauce, serve.

HONEY BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes. Set aside. Pour 1/2 of the sauce in a small bowl for basting the chicken.
• I like to pound the chicken a little before I grill it so it cooks evenly. Grill the chicken on medium high heat, you want to cook it 7 to 10 minutes on each side. It tastes best if you only turn it once.
• Baste generously with the small bowl of sauce every 3 or 4 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

ROASTED BOURBON-GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the bourbon, sugar, mustard, garlic, honey, vinegar and worcestershire in a small saucepan and whisk. Heat over high heat and allow it to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until mixture reduces by about half. Set aside and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the chicken. The glaze will thicken a bit at this time. In a bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Season chicken breasts on both sides with mixture, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. When finished, add chicken to an oven-safe baking dish. Pour half of the glaze overtop of chicken, add sage leaves on top if desired, then roast for 30 minutes. Half way through cooking, brush chicken with a bit more glaze. When chicken is finished, remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve with additional glaze for topping.

HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make sure the chicken is fully thawed. I bring it home and start on this right away. Put the chicken into a large ziploc bag. I like to use a bag as you can move stuff around better than with a bowl.
• Add the orange juice and honey to a saucepan and heat slowly to warm while stirring. DO NOT allow to bubble or boil. You pretty much just want the honey to melt into the juice.
• Using a garlic press (or a grater) crush the cloves into the honey-juice mixture while stirring.
• Slice the ginger into pieces small enough to fit in the garlic press. Using the same garlic press put sliced pieces of ginger into the press and crush into the stove top mixture. Or grate them is you find crushing too hard.
• I pick out the crushed bits of ginger and garlic and put them into the mixture as well. Use more ginger if you like ginger and less if you don't. I didn't use very much as the people who will be eating this don't care for ginger as much as I do.
• Pour the warm honey-juice-garlic-ginger mix into the ziploc bag on top of the chicken. I feel the bottom of the sauce pan before I pour. You should be able to touch it so that the mix wont melt the bag. If it is too hot let it cool a little bit.
• Add 2 table spoons of soy sauce on top of the chicken marinade mix.
• Chop the green onions and add to the bag.
• Using your hands on the outside of the bag make sure all the meat is coated and the soy and green onions are mixed up as well.
• Put the bag in the refrigerator and bring it out when ready to cook. After a few hours you can freeze the mix in the bag if you like as well.
• You can allow this to marinate for a few hours or more than a day. If you are planning on cooking the chicken in a pan in your oven a few hours should be all you need. If you are planning on grilling I would advise longer.
