Bourbon BBQ Chicken

February 24, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am excited for tonight’s dinner, it’s a first for me!  I made homemade barbecue sauce and I couldn’t be more pleased.  Yes I’m a virgin BBQ sauce maker, but not anymore.  It was easy and so satisfying.  lol

I got the recipe for the barbecue sauce from the Jim Beam website.  I pretty much used the same recipe but changed it up just a pinch.  I cut the brown sugar in half, because no one needs all that sugar and I didn’t have dried mustard so I used Dijon Mustard.  The sauce is thick, but not super thick.  You can taste a pinch of the bourbon and it has a slight kick, but not too much to be considered to spicy for someone.  It was perfect.  My Husband the perfectionist liked it, that’s saying a lot, he ate two pieces of the chicken.  I am very pleased with this dinner!!  I will be making this one again.


Now that I conquered my first barbecue sauce I can’t wait to see what I can create next.  I also can see more bourbon recipes in the future.  I bought a bottle of Jim Beam Bourbon for the Mardi Gras  Holiday Hop and I am not a bourbon person or a big alcohol person so I am using it to create recipes.  My next recipe I’m thinking of is cake.  Yah!!

It’s easy, perfect and a wonderful summer recipe or in this case a winter recipe.  With all this warm weather were having I’m starting to get spring fever!  Isn’t spring fever a wonderful feeling?  I go crazy every year!  I miss the summer!

Bourbon Barbecue Chicken – adapted from Jim Beam

Ingredients:

1 lbs boneless chicken breasts

2 cups ketchup

4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 cup Jim Beam® Bourbon

4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

To make Barbecue sauce:

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients (except chicken). Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Makes 3 cups. Can store in refrigerator up to 1 month.

Cut chicken horizontally in half and lightly sprinkle some salt & pepper.  Place on medium heat grill.  Add 1 tablespoon of bbq sauce to each piece of chicken.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Flip chicken and add an additional 1 tablespoon to each chicken breast (or add as much sauce as you like).  Cook until no longer pink, about 3 – 5 minutes.

Serve with additional barbecue sauce if you please.

The barbecue sauce makes about 3 cups.  Place the additional sauce in the refrigerator for another use.

Makes 4 4oz servings

Calories per tablespoon of barbecue sauce:  32,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  174,  Potassium:  6.5,  Carbs:  5,  Fiber:  0,  Sugar:  5,  Protein:  .01

Calories per 4oz chicken breast without BBQ sauce:  120,  Fat:  2,  Cholesterol:  65,  Sodium:  75,  Carbs:  0,  Fiber:  0,  Sugar:  0,  Protein:  26

If you never made Barbecue Sauce you should do it.  It’s fun and easy and whats best, is you can control the sugar and calories.  The original recipe had one cup of sugar so I cut it in half, but I’m thinking maybe next time I’ll cut it down a little more or maybe add molasses instead.  Well see?

Well I have slacked for two days on exercising, so I am going to get some strength training in tonight.  My excuses are, I wasn’t feeling great yesterday and Hubby was home today and it’s not fun exercising when he’s home.  Weird that I feel that way, huh.  I like my privacy when I work out.  Do you feel the same way?

Have a great weekend!!!!

    Yay for losing your homemade BBQ sauce virginity! Isn’t it so much better than storebought? I’m not much of a bourbon drinker either, but I love it in food. Definitely need to try this!

    Great dinner, I have never made barbecue sauce, I should give it a try, but what your your favorite barbecue brand if you don’t have time to make a homemade version?

      I don’t know what my favorite BBQ Sauce is. Good question! I usually buy it from little shops, not from the big stores. I usually get it from Tahoe House in Lake Tahoe. Here’s a link. http://www.tahoe-house.com/products-page/sauces/ I stock up, so I am well stocked into summer. But I do now and again buy Trader Joe’s BBQ Sauce, which isn’t to bad.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.

Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?
