I am so excited to be working with Gold’n Plump® to bring you this amazing and delicious recipe using their boneless skinless chicken thighs. With three kids in school this year and seven (SEVEN!) activities between them, we have been finding that we REALLY need to be on our A game and on our toes. Like all the time. Always. I’m realizing the further we get into this parenting game that it’s a full contact team sport. Man-to-man defense is ideal, but it’s more important that you have a good teammate. I’m pretty lucky because my teammate is all in AND good looking. #winning Because my teammate also does an amazing job at folding all the laundry, I really like to make dinners that he loves. Loooooves. Not just kind of likes. And this Bourbon Chicken Recipe definitely fell into the love category. After a few bites, he said, “I love this. I would eat this all the time.”
THE BEST BOURBON CHICKEN RECIPE
To make the best Bourbon Chicken recipe, you first need to start with the very best chicken. I made this recipe using Gold’n Plump’s boneless skinless chicken thighs. They are incredibly tender and stay so moist during the cooking of this recipe. I love using Gold’n Plump Chicken because it always holds up best in my recipes and stays perfectly tender no matter what recipe I’m making. I also love that their chickens are raised on family farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota (sweet words to this Midwestern girl’s heart) and they are all natural and raised without any antibiotics, ever. The chicken thighs are cut into bite-sized pieces and lightly coated in corn starch. Then they are fried in just a little bit of olive oil in two batches to give them a nice crispy texture.
THE PERFECT BOURBON CHICKEN SAUCE
There is a small known fact (or maybe story) that the name for this dish actually comes from the street, Bourbon Street, and not the liquor. But adding Bourbon to this sauce gives it such a delicious flavor, that I ran with it. However, you can easily make this bourbon chicken recipe without alcohol. Most of the ingredients for this sauce are things I bet you already have on hand:

So simple, right?
