FREEZE: Easy Bourbon Chicken is a fantastic freezer meal! Let it cool completely before freezing. Once the chicken and the sauce are both completely cool, store it in an airtight container or a freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to one month. Don’t forget to label the container with the date and contents! Thaw it completely before reheating.
QUICK TIPS AND VARIATIONS:
- If you don’t have or don’t prefer apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar can be used as a substitute.
- Apple juice can be used instead of bourbon if you don’t prefer to cook with alcohol.
- For extra spiciness, try adding in some sriracha, cayenne pepper, or extra red pepper flakes.
- When cooking the chicken, do it in small batches and don’t overcrowd the pan. This allows the chicken to turn golden and crispy! It takes a bit of extra time, but you’ll get a better brown on it, which makes the chicken extra delicious.
- I use chicken breast because that is what my family likes. If you want a more tender cut, use boneless and skinless chicken thighs. Either work, so use what your family prefers!
