We’re talking tender, juicy chicken bathed in a gloriously sweet and savory glaze that has just a hint of smoky bourbon extract character.

The secret weapon here is the bourbon extract extract, which delivers all the nuanced flavor without the non-alcoholic alternative, making it perfect for all ages.

Ingredients:

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup honey

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup bourbon extract extract

Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Preparation and Marination

The first step to achieving perfectly flavorful chicken skewers is proper preparation. Start by trimming any excess fat from your boneless, skinless chicken thighs. While chicken thighs are inherently more forgiving and stay moister than breasts, a little trimming ensures an even cooking experience. Cut the chicken thighs into uniform, bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and absorbs the marinade beautifully.

Next, it’s time to create our irresistible marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and that star ingredient, the bourbon extract extract. The bourbon extract extract will impart a deep, complex flavor that hints at the rich notes of bourbon extract without any of the non-alcoholic alternative. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined and the honey has dissolved into the liquids.

Now, add your prepared chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure each piece is thoroughly coated. You can do this directly in the bowl, or if you have a large resealable bag, that’s a great option for easy marination and less mess. Once the chicken is coated, cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the deeper the flavor will penetrate the chicken. Avoid marinating for too long, especially with the soy sauce, as it can start to break down the chicken’s texture.

While your chicken is marinating, don’t forget to soak your wooden skewers. This is a crucial step to prevent them from burning on the grill or in the oven. Submerge them completely in water for at least 30 minutes. This allows the wood to absorb moisture, making them more resistant to heat.

Skewering the Chicken

Once your chicken has had ample time to marinate and your skewers are properly soaked, it’s time to thread them onto the skewers. This part is fun and easy! Carefully thread the marinated chicken pieces onto each skewer, leaving a small space between each piece. This spacing allows for even cooking and ensures that all sides of the chicken get exposed to the heat, resulting in that beautiful caramelization we’re looking for. Don’t overcrowd the skewers; it’s better to have a few more skewers with perfectly cooked chicken than a few overloaded ones that might cook unevenly. Aim for about 3-5 pieces of chicken per skewer, depending on their size.

Cooking the Skewers

Now for the exciting part – cooking! You have a couple of excellent options for getting these sticky, delicious skewers just right.

Grilling Method:

If you’re firing up the grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewered chicken onto the hot grill. Cook for about 8-12 minutes, flipping them every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has a beautiful, caramelized exterior. Basting the skewers with any leftover marinade during the last few minutes of grilling can further enhance that sticky glaze and add an extra layer of flavor. Be mindful of flare-ups, as the honey in the glaze can cause them.

Oven Method:

If grilling isn’t an option, don’t worry! These skewers turn out wonderfully in the oven too. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the skewered chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. For an extra touch of char, you can broil them for the last 1-2 minutes, watching them very carefully to prevent burning.

Serving Your Sticky Bourbon Extract Extract Extract Extract Chicken Skewers

Once your chicken skewers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the heat. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and moist chicken. You can serve these skewers as is, or with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness. They pair wonderfully with steamed rice, a simple salad, or grilled vegetables. Get ready for rave reviews – these Sticky Bourbon Extract Extract Extract Extract Chicken Skewers are sure to be a hit!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the bourbon extract glaze ahead of time?

Absolutely! The bourbon extract glaze can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You may need to gently warm it slightly before brushing it onto the chicken for easier application.

What if I don’t have bourbon extract? Can I substitute it?

While bourbon extract provides a unique flavor profile, you can experiment with other non-alcoholic spirits like dark rum extract for a similar sweetness. Alternatively, for a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic version, you can use extra dark brown sugar and a touch of molasses, plus a splash of apple cider vinegar for tang, though the flavor will be different from the classic bourbon extract taste.

How long should I grill the chicken skewers?

Grilling time will vary depending on the heat of your grill and the size of your chicken pieces, but typically, chicken skewers take about 8-12 minutes to cook through, turning occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
