Ingredients in Bourbon Chicken
All the ingredients are most you already have in your pantry and they are ready to go with one bowl whisked together. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
Chicken Thighs: I like using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts because they have more flavor. The meat is extra tender and juicy when simmered in the glaze. Olive Oil: This is used to cook the chicken but also adds some flavor! Bourbon: This is rich in flavor, and the alcohol cooks out when simmered with the glaze. If you don’t want to use bourbon, you can use apple cider instead! Soy Sauce: brings added flavor and a pinch of salty taste. Brown Sugar: I use light brown sugar in this recipe, but dark will work fine too! Garlic Cloves: I can’t resist adding a hint of garlic to the recipe! Cornstarch: This coats the chicken making it a little crispy on the outside. Water: This is added to the sauce. Add more or less depending on the consistency that you like. Sliced Green Onions: These are optional but I love adding them as a garnish on top!
