Ingredients:

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (skinless chicken thigh)

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup honey

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic clove

½ cup bourbon extract extract

wooden skewers

Instructions:

First things first, let’s get our chicken prepped. You’ll want to cut your boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches. This ensures they cook evenly and are easy to thread onto the skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, it’s a good idea to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before you start. This prevents them from burning on the grill or in the oven, keeping your chicken intact and delicious.

Next up, we’re building that incredible sticky glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the minced garlic. Now for the star of the show: the ½ cup of bourbon extract extract. This is where we get that unmistakable bourbon extract flavor without the need for actual bourbon extract, making it a fantastic and accessible ingredient. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and forms a smooth, glossy sauce.

Now, let’s get that chicken coated. Add the cut chicken pieces to the bowl with the glaze. Toss everything gently until each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated in the sticky mixture. For the best flavor development, I like to let the chicken marinate in this delicious concoction for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or even better, pop it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. The longer it marinates, the more the flavors will penetrate the chicken.

Once your chicken is marinated and your skewers are ready, it’s time to assemble. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers. Don’t pack them too tightly; leave a little space between each piece so that the heat can circulate and cook the chicken evenly. You’ll likely have some extra glaze left in the bowl. Don’t discard it! We’ll be using this to baste the skewers as they cook, making them even more gloriously sticky and flavorful.

Cooking Your Skewers

There are a few ways to cook these delightful skewers, and they’re all delicious.

Grilling:

If you’re a grilling enthusiast, these skewers are perfect for outdoor cooking. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, turning regularly. As they cook, brush them generously with the reserved glaze. You’ll know they’re done when the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink in the center, and the glaze has caramelized beautifully, creating those irresistible sticky bits. Watch them closely to prevent burning, as the honey in the glaze can cause them to char quickly.

Baking:

If the weather isn’t cooperating or you prefer to cook indoors, the oven is your friend. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the skewered chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the skewers with the reserved glaze, and if you want an extra sticky finish, you can turn on your broiler for a minute or two, keeping a very close eye on them to prevent burning. The chicken should be cooked through and the glaze nicely caramelized.

Pan-Frying:

For a quick stovetop option, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the skewers in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, turning to brown and cook evenly. While they’re cooking, brush them with the reserved glaze, allowing it to bubble and thicken. This method also yields a wonderfully sticky and flavorful result.

No matter how you choose to cook them, these Sticky Bourbon Extract Extract Extract Extract Chicken Skewers are sure to be a hit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the glaze ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the bourbon extract glaze up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Simply reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before brushing it onto the chicken.

What if I don’t have bourbon extract?

While bourbon extract adds a unique depth of flavor, you can substitute it with another dark non-alcoholic liquor like whiskey extract or even a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic alternative like a good quality apple cider or a mix of brown sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. The flavor profile will be slightly different, but still delicious!
