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.

☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my Chin ☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my China that my Mom gave me. As a child I always loved this set. My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.

It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?
