Why You’ll Love This Bourbon Chicken Recipe

When I was a teenager, I used to go with my friends with little to no money in our pockets, mainly to window shop. Aside from that, we circled the food court. The bourbon chicken samples that were passed out in the food court have a taste that I will never forget. Sweet, yet savory. Crispy, yet juicy. It was perfect. So every now and then I get a taste for that same chicken and I just have to make it at home.
