Boy are you right on by calling this the BEST Bourbon Chicken! YUMMY! The only thing I changed was to use chicken breast instead of thighs (that's all I had) And a little bit of crushed red pepper and fresh ginger (which by the way keeps in the freezer forever!). I can't wait to make this again next week! Thanks Bryan

Nice recipe. I used fresh grated ginger, but I'm sure powdered ginger would be good as well. For dinner I served it over rice. The next day for lunch I warmed the leftover chicken, and served as a salad over romaine lettuce hearts and fresh baby spinach. The sauce was just as good, if not better, the next day.
