Bourbon-Brown Sugar Grilled Chicken


 

Ahhh Memorial Day weekend.  The unofficial start of summer.  Despite having such a horrendous winter, I feel like the summer really snuck up on us.  But here we are, on the last day of school, staring summer right in the face.  To the lazy mornings, afternoons spent at the pool, impromptu trips to the ice cream shop, and evenings playing outside:  I welcome you with open arms!  And to grilling dinner every night:  I welcome you with open arms as well!

And to incorporating bourbon into dinner:  Joey welcomes that with open arms!  He is definitely a bourbon and scotch guy, so I knew this dinner would be a home run with him.  Spoiler alert:  it was.

It's also super easy and low-maintenance.  You mix together  super simple marinade, let it do it's thing for several hours, then grill it up.   Thanks to the brown sugar and sugar from the bourbon, you get gorgeous grill marks, and amazing caramelization on the chicken.  It's good stuff.  If you want another punch of bourbon-brown sugar flavor (which, I'm sure you do), you can boil the marinade and thicken it it into a luscious sauce.  For spooning over the chicken.  Or for eating by the spoonful.  I won't judge.

Don't like chicken?  This would be fantastic with pork tenderloin, steak, or even salmon.  Go wild!


Bourbon-Brown Sugar Grilled Chicken
adapted from Southern Living, All Fired Up
serves 4-6

  • 2 lbs boneless-skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup minced green onions, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • large pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Trim the chicken of any visible fat.  

In a gallon-sized freezer bag, combine the brown sugar, green onions, bourbon, soy sauce, mustard, and peppers.  Close the bag and shake to mix well.  Season the chicken lightly with salt, and add to the bag with the marinade.  

Seal the bag and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or up to overnight.

Preheat the grill to 350-400 degrees (medium-high heat).  Reserve the marinade, and grill the chicken about 7 minutes per side, or until it registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer.  Remove the chicken from the grill, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

As the chicken rests, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes.

Slice the chicken, drizzle the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with sliced green onions.  Serve.

I have been on the red alert for bourbon recipes lately. Not sure what the impetus was. Oh yeah that bread pudding I had a couple of months ago with the bourbon sauce on it. Then this past weekend I had my first bourbon cocktail called a Kentucky Kiss. So this is a homerun for me too!

Josie said...

Oh bourbon. Such a lovely alcohol for cooking. It somehow makes everything a bit more special, doesn't it?

Josie said...

For sure!

Josie said...

I'm loving bourbon lately. Can't wait to try this chicken for dinner soon!

Josie said...

Out of curiosity - how noticeable is the mustard flavor? I'm not a fan at all, but usually leave it when it's like a tablespoon, but of course that 1/4 cup is making me nervous! I'm definitely making this next week, but debating if i should reduce the qty of the mustard!

Josie said...

Angie, I don't recall it being that prominent, but I do love mustard… you could probably decrease it a tad. I think it mostly helps balance the sweetness from the bourbon and brown sugar. Hope you enjoy!

Josie said...

What is under the chicken in the picture? The whole plate looks yummy and I know my hubby will be down with using bourbon.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
