Ingredients

  • 2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 3 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 skewers

Preparation

Step 1

First, don’t be discouraged if you have children and think you can’t serve this because it has alcohol in it. The alcohol burns off and leaves a distinct flavor in its place. This chicken is safe to serve to children.

If you make kabobs, I would

Another thing, you don’t have to make kabobs with this marinade. I do because let’s face it food on a stick is fun and my kids eat better if I have the fun factor. You may want to use chicken breast or chicken tenders. You can even use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts; it would be awesome!

Bourbon Marinated Grilled Chicken Kabobs have a rich, deep and slightly sweet flavor. Bourbon adds a unique flavor when grilled to meats.

Add soy, bourbon, worcestershire, water, oil, cloves, brown sugar, pepper, ginger and salt to bag and smush to combine. (Yes, 'smush' is an official cooking term.)

Place chicken in a bag and roll around in marinade to cover chicken.

Place in a bowl and refrigerate 30 minutes up to 4 hours.

You had me at Bourbon Marinated. I cook with whiskey and wine a lot so I can’t wait to try this too. This looks amazing!! Found your recipe at Pint Sized Baker’s Two-Cup Tuesday.  I am one of the hostesses of Tickle My Tastebuds and would love you to stop by and link up this recipe if you have not yet already.

These look and sound fabulous, Paula! I love to grill, but the Mr doesn’t like to make chicken because he had a bad experience with it once. Skewered is the perfect answer- easier to tell when it’s done! Can’t wait to try the marinade!
