Bourbon Chicken
I love a good chicken and rice recipe and therefore I am always on the hunt for them. Such a crowd pleaser, I mean who doesn’t like rice right? I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t. This bourbon chicken recipe tastes just like the kind they serve up in my favorite Chinese restaurant; slightly sweet and slightly spicy!
I snagged this gem from a site called cooks.com. It looks plain but it packs a lot of flavors and goes PERFECT over a bed of white rice. The flavor of the chicken intensifies as it sits. I’m convinced that once you make this dish it will permanently go into your recipe collection. So yummy & easy!

Did not have ginger but it still came out great.Tried to make more sauce separately using garlic powder,big mistake and so glad that i did not use it when I first made it.
Yummy! Thanks for the simple delicious recipe. I added some onions & scallions for a little texture and it was great, the family loved the dish!

Hey Monique, I tried the bourbon chicken recipe and it was great! Alot of spice at first but it settled.
Next, I’m trying either the peach cobbler or those Southern biscuits! I can’t wait.
Is it at all possible you can add “about” how many servings your recipes are so we will know whether to double or divide for our family size or party size?
Thanks so much for your site. Keep ’em coming!
