HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, mix together the first 9 ingredients.
• Simmer on medium for 1 hour.
• Stir together corn starch and water and add to the still simmering bourbon sauce.
• Leave on medium heat which preparing chicken.
• Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Season with salt and pepper liberally.
• Heat a large, heavy bottomed, saute pan on high that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
• When it is smoking add chicken.
• Brown chicken on both sides and then add bourbon sauce.
• Let simmer for 2 minutes and serve.

HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make sure the chicken is fully thawed. I bring it home and start on this right away. Put the chicken into a large ziploc bag. I like to use a bag as you can move stuff around better than with a bowl.
• Add the orange juice and honey to a saucepan and heat slowly to warm while stirring. DO NOT allow to bubble or boil. You pretty much just want the honey to melt into the juice.
• Using a garlic press (or a grater) crush the cloves into the honey-juice mixture while stirring.
• Slice the ginger into pieces small enough to fit in the garlic press. Using the same garlic press put sliced pieces of ginger into the press and crush into the stove top mixture. Or grate them is you find crushing too hard.
• I pick out the crushed bits of ginger and garlic and put them into the mixture as well. Use more ginger if you like ginger and less if you don't. I didn't use very much as the people who will be eating this don't care for ginger as much as I do.
• Pour the warm honey-juice-garlic-ginger mix into the ziploc bag on top of the chicken. I feel the bottom of the sauce pan before I pour. You should be able to touch it so that the mix wont melt the bag. If it is too hot let it cool a little bit.
• Add 2 table spoons of soy sauce on top of the chicken marinade mix.
• Chop the green onions and add to the bag.
• Using your hands on the outside of the bag make sure all the meat is coated and the soy and green onions are mixed up as well.
• Put the bag in the refrigerator and bring it out when ready to cook. After a few hours you can freeze the mix in the bag if you like as well.
• You can allow this to marinate for a few hours or more than a day. If you are planning on cooking the chicken in a pan in your oven a few hours should be all you need. If you are planning on grilling I would advise longer.

BOOZY BOURBON CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Stir together the bourbon, oil, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Use in place of your favorite chicken marinade.

BOURBON HONEY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch angel food cake pan with a nonremovable bottom with oil, line the bottom with parchment paper, then oil and flour the pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the oil, granulated sugar, honey, brown sugar, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla on medium speed for one minute. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and ginger and blend. Combine the coffee, orange juice, and bourbon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour and liquid mixtures to the oil-sugar mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with flour, until combined. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Don't worry; the batter will be very liquid!
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Rap the pan 5 times on the counter to get rid of any bubbles in the batter. Sprinkle the top with the almonds. Bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then remove from the pan and place almond side up on a flat serving plate. Serve at room temperature.

HONEY BOURBON CHICKEN POPS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or smoker to 375 degrees F. (If using wood, I love cherry or apple wood.)
• Lop off about 1/4 inch from the top of a drumstick, and from the tip of the handle of the drumstick, using dry hands and a dry knife. (This way, you can stand them up straight, and it makes pulling the meat up easier.) About an inch up from end of the handle, where the bulb meets the handle, make a sharp cut that goes all the way around the handle (a 360-degree cut), making sure to cut through the skin, muscle and tendons. Push the meat up to the more bulbous end of the leg and remove the little bit of meat on the handle end. Repeat with the remaining drumsticks.
• Place the rub in a small sheet pan or flat dish and roll each drumstick in the rub. Place the drumsticks directly on the grill and cook, rotating a couple times throughout, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Dunk each drumstick into the Glaze and stand up on the grill until the sauce is caramelized and set, another 10 to 12 minutes.
• Combine in the bourbon, ketchup, vinegar, honey, mustard and brown sugar in a small saucepot and simmer for 10 minutes.

SMOKY RUBBED CHICKEN WINGS WITH HONEY, BOURBON, AND MOLASSES SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally to discourage scorching, until lightly thickened and reduced by about one-quarter, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. (The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.)
• To make the rub: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Put the wingettes in a very large bowl and toss with the rub. Divide the wingettes among two 1-gallon self-sealing plastic bags, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the top third and center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pans with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
• Spread the wingettes out on the baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Roast the wingettes, turning the wings over and switching the positions of the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through cooking, until the wings are crisp and cooked through, about 40 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, brush the wings with some of the sauce. Remove the wings from the oven.
• Position a broiler about 8 inches from the source of heat and preheat the broiler on high. In batches, broil the wings to caramelize the sauce in spots, about 3 minutes. Serve hot, with any leftover sauce passed on the side.

BOURBON MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper; pound to 1/4" thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Place chicken in a shallow baking dish.
• Combine brown sugar, mustard, bourbon, green onions, salt, and Worcestershire sauce; stirring well.
• Brush mustard mixture evenly over both sides of chicken breast halves.

• Add reserved marinade to a skillet; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Pour sauce over chicken.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put 2 chicken breasts, skin side up in a small baking dish and season.
• Squeeze the lemon into a bowl and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, then tuck the squeezed-out half of lemon between the pieces (this will moisten and add flavour to the chicken).
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). Cook until done and richly glazed, basting with the juices at least twice. To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
• Serve with salad and potatoes roasted with herbs and garlic.
