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.

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕

What color do you like to use for Valentines? Pink or Red?

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
