I’m not much for eating mall food court fare. But one thing I do love that you can get at the food court is Bourbon Chicken. The tiny little free taste on a tooth pick draws me into the complete meal without too much trouble at all. In a diversion down Savory Street, I decided to make Bourbon Chicken at home. This does require some thought as it needs to marinate overnight but, oh my, it is FABU!
I served the chicken with jasmine rice and a green salad.
I adore jasmine rice almost as much as bourbon chicken. I don’t even think I have words to describe just how awesome I find the smell and taste of jasmine rice. The only thing that would have made this dinner better is if I had served it with cabbage like they do at the mall but, all in all, it was Mmmmm FABU!
Bourbon Chicken
4 chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ground ginger
4 ounces soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced dried onions
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Place chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the ginger, soy sauce, onion flakes, sugar, bourbon and garlic powder. Mix together and pour mixture over chicken. Cover dish and place in refrigerator. Marinate overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Remove dish from refrigerator and remove cover. Bake in the preheated oven, basting frequently, for 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is well browned and juices run clear.
