If you like bourbon chicken from the food court at the mall, you’ll love this homemade stovetop version!

Maybe you’ve made my crockpot bourbon chicken recipe, but this one is made quickly on the stovetop, and I pair it with roasted potatoes.

It’s sweet, a touch spicy, perfect over rice and it rivals the dish I used to get at the mall in college.

I made these roasted potatoes but cut them into discs instead of the usual cubes. Next time I should probably be a grown up and serve it with a veggie like roasted green beans or something.

Fun Fact: There’s no bourbon in this recipe, which many of you have pointed out to me. The name Bourbon Chicken comes from Bourbon Street in New Orleans, which it’s named after.

    We really enjoyed this! Served over brown rice. It was a bit too sweet, but delicious flavor! Next time I’ll start with less sugar and taste before I add more. But it was still very tasty and super quick and easy! Thanks for the recipe!

    First time making bourbon. Taste recipe. Next time I’m going to use a little less soy sauce and red peppers.
