Roasted Chicken With Bourbon Barbecue Sauce Food

BOURBON BBQ CHICKEN WITH SIXTEEN SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Make the rub: Whisk all the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.
• Make the bbq sauce: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup of the bourbon and cook until reduced. Add the ketchup and water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon and allow to cool at room temperature. The sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.
• Heat the grill to medium heat. Brush the chicken with the 1/4 cup of oil and season on both sides with the spice rub. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the chicken slowly, with the lid closed, until golden brown on both sides and fat has rendered. Begin brushing the chicken liberally with the bbq sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
• Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

• Store for up to 2 weeks in your fridge or up to 3 months in your freezer.

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.

PULLED CHICKEN WITH BOURBON BBQ

Steps:

• For the BBQ sauce: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and garlic in a small pot. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the apricot preserves, bourbon and orange zest until well combined. Season with coarsely ground black pepper.
• For the sandwiches: Cover the sweet potatoes with water in a small pot and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, Pulled Poached Chicken and poaching liquid (or store-bought chicken stock), then pour the BBQ sauce over top. Simmer until the chicken is heated through.
• For the slaw: Combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, agave and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and apples and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve: Pile the BBQ chicken on the rolls and top with the apple slaw.
• Place the chicken in a pot and add the bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme and some salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and poach the chicken for 1 hour. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and separate the meat into bite-size pieces. Strain the stock and reserve.

BAKED PEACH-BOURBON BBQ CHICKEN BREAST

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

• Place chicken on a sheet pan or broiling tray and brush sauce onto the chicken with a basting brush.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip chicken breasts over and baste with reserved sauce.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Broil chicken and continue to baste and flip the chicken every 3 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle and massage a generous amount of kosher salt and pepper all over the pork. Sear the pork on all sides until deep brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees. Turn over once halfway through roasting. Remove the pork from the skillet and wrap in tin foil. Allow the pork to rest in the foil for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Using the same skillet, place it over medium-high heat on the stove top. Deglaze with the bourbon, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the soy sauce, ketchup and brown sugar. Bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the tin foil. Whisk any drippings that have collected in the tin foil into the bourbon-barbecue sauce.
