Bourbon Chicken

Bourbon Chicken

Prep:15minCook:20min

I searched and finally found this recipe on the internet. It is a copycat of the Bourbon Chicken sold in Chinese carry-outs in my hometown. This recipe is so good that my sons gobble it up leaving me just a spoonful. Their excuse was they thought I had eaten. Editor's Note: Named Bourbon Chicken because it was supposedly created by a Chinese cook who worked in a restaurant on Bourbon Street.

Omited the red pepper flakes and doubled the sauce recipe!

Special occasion

I doubled the sauce like others suggested. It wasn't bad but not as sweet as I was expecting. Next time I'll double the sauce, add corn starch and use less apple cider vinegar or completely leave it out.

This is my go to recipe, it's a huge hit in our household. Definitely double the sauce, I reduce the amount of pepper flakes as I found it to be a bit spicy( this is optional) at the end of cooking time I actually use a slurry mixture as it thickens the sauce just enough.

Definitely double the sauce and use boneless, skinless thighs!

This was really good. I skipped the yeast, which I don’t really understand. I threw a few carrots in to the roasting veggies, as I was always taught a bit of sugar with tomatoes was good. Will make again for sure, served with some garlic cheese bread. My 12 year old loved it too.

I don't cut the chicken up into bite sizes. I use whole chicken thighs (boneless, skinless). I also double the sauce so there's plenty to spoon over the Basmati rice I serve it with. This is a family favorite.

We love this as an easy meal. We serve the chicken on romaine lettuce leaves with white rice, topped with the bourbon chicken.

My husband loves this recipe. It can be adjusted to make it more or less spicy, he likes it spicy 🔥! It's really good and we crave it if we don't make it in a while! He likes extra sauce, so I double the sauce. Also I have discovered that doing the sauce separately in its own pot works better for us.
