Customize this recipe

There are several ways to change up this recipe to make it your own.

First, you can add some chili sauce or sriracha for a little kick.

Second, you can use either bourbon or apple juice in the sauce.

Third, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in place of the chicken breast.

What to serve with bourbon chicken

I like to serve this chicken over white or brown rice. I usually serve steamed broccoli alongside.

Both the rice and the broccoli soak up the sauce, which makes for a flavorful bowl.
