Blackstone Bourbon Chicken
A quick and flavorful dish featuring marinated chicken breasts cooked on a griddle, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1/2 cup bourbon (Use a mid-range bottle for best flavor.)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (Low sodium soy sauce recommended.)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (Light brown sugar gives a subtle molasses note.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (Fresh garlic is preferable.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (Helps the marinade cling to the chicken.)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (Use freshly ground for better flavor.)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional for a little heat.)
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Pound thicker ends for even cooking.)
- Chopped for garnish green onions (Add just before serving.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix together bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until the sugar dissolves.
- Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat.
Cooking
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on the griddle. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious bourbon chicken with family.
