Dave’s Delish Bourbon Chicken

“There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.”― Thomas Wolfe

Last week I shared my Roasted Root Vegetables with Balsamic Glaze recipe and promised this one would be coming next… so here it is!!! You will not be disappointed!!! This is one of Dave’s recipe and our family just loves it served on a bed of Basmati rice with my veggies! Just in case you missed it, here is the link!

Farmers markets are abounding with fresh produce, farm fresh eggs, honey, maple syrup, flowers, and of course delicious grass fed meats. I like to get my meat from several farmers who participate at the markets I frequent. These delicious & meaty thighs were purchased from Vestergarrd Farms located in Ann Arbor, Michigan! They participate in the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, which is where we go most frequently due to it’s location.

Now lets get into this super yummy recipe you will all just love!

Our Favorite Recipes

Ingredients:
8 boneless chicken thighs

Marinade:
¼ cup Soy Sauce- I use Braggs
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup Jim Beam Bourbon
2 TBSP fresh minced red onion
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp herb garlic salt or regular garlic salt 
***You can use garlic powder in exchange for salt if you’d like
½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper

Farm raised meats are so wonderfully delicious & fresh. However if you purchase your meat from a grocer, you are still supporting local!

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag combine all marinade ingredients; mix until well blended & set aside.

3. Take chicken thighs and cut into 1” strips leaving most of the skin on; put strips in the bag of marinade and place in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight if you want to plan ahead.

4. Pour both marinade and chicken strips into a 9” x 13” x 2” baking dish; cook uncovered for 1 ½ hours stirring occasionally.

This is delicious served on a bed of Basmati rice and my Roasted Root Vegetables with Balsamic Glaze.
