What Can you Serve with Bourbon Chicken
How do you make
Instant Pot Bourbon Chicken
Stove Top Directions Below
Sautéing the Chicken:
-
Start by putting olive oil into your Instant Pot.
-
Turn on the sauté function and let the Instant Pot heat up.
-
Coat the chicken with 2 TBS Italian Seasoning Mixture.
-
Lightly brown the chicken on both sides in the heated olive oil.
Preparation:
-
Midway through sautéing, empty any excess water out of the Instant Pot. It's okay, as it will help deglaze the pot later.
-
Once the chicken is browned on both sides, remove it from the Instant Pot and set it aside on a plate.
Creating the Glaze:
-
In the same Instant Pot, add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, bourbon, ketchup, 1/2 cup water, jalapenos (or red pepper flakes), and apple cider vinegar.
-
Mix the ingredients well to combine.
Cooking the Chicken:
-
Return the browned chicken to the Instant Pot, making sure each piece is covered with the liquid mixture.
Pressure Cooking:
-
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring that the valve is set to the "Sealing" position.
-
Press the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button, and set the timer for 20 minutes on high pressure.
-
Releasing Pressure:
-
Once the cooking time is up and the pressure valve goes down (indicating that pressure has released), carefully turn the lid to open.
Finishing the Glaze:
-
Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and place it on another platter.
Thickening the Glaze:
-
Add 2 TBS Corn Starch to 2 TBS water in a small bowl and stir until the mixture forms a smooth slurry.
-
Stir the corn starch slurry into the liquid in the Instant Pot to thicken the glaze. Use the sauté function and stir until the glaze reaches the desired thickness.
Serving:
-
Serve the glazed chicken over Cilantro Buttered rice or your preferred choice of side dish.
-
For an extra kick of heat, you can add additional red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce, or paprika to the glaze before serving.
Enjoy your mouthwatering Instant Pot Bourbon Glazed Chicken with a delightful glaze that's both sweet and savory!

Searing the Chicken:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken in the Glaze:
-
Return the seared chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is coated with the glaze.
-
-
Simmering the Chicken:
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the glaze for about 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even coating and cooking.
-
-
Thickening the Glaze:
-
In a small bowl, mix 2 TBS Corn Starch with 2 TBS water to create a slurry.
-
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and pour the corn starch slurry into the glaze.

Stir the glaze continuously as it simmers and thickens, creating a glossy sauce.

-
Serving:
-
Once the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat.
-
Serve the Bourbon Glazed Chicken over your choice of side, such as Cilantro Buttered rice or mashed potatoes.
-
Note:
-
If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add extra red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce, or paprika to the glaze during step 2.
-
Keep in mind that cooking times might vary based on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces. Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked (165°F or 74°C).
