This had WAY too much bourbon! It was way too bourbon flavored and the chicken was really dry. It didn't taste anything like the chicken you get at "the mall" and I will for sure not make this recipe again.

This is a keeper! My picky eater boyfriend loves it, he said it tastes better than the one at Chinese restaurants. Really delicious, a little on the sweet side, but not overwhelmingly sweet. You can taste the alcohol (I used Jack Daniels), but it's not overpowering. If you do follow the recipe with exact measurement, however I'd recommend decrease the amount of the bourbon by just a liiiiitle bit.

If you try this recipe with the expectation that it's going to taste like the fattening, restaurant version, you are going to be disappointed. That being said, however, it's a very flavorful and relatively healthy dish. Make it even healthier by using low sodium soy sauce and serve it over brown rice. Yum!

I used some of the tips from the other reviewers. I ended up marinating my chicken for over a day (I didn't have time to cook it the day I planned). It came out really good, my husband is a fan. It was great with stir fry over rice.

The chicken was amazing! Simply delicious. We had no leftovers. I didn't have onion flakes so I chopped a half of an onion, a tablespoon of minced garlic and sprinkled garlic salt over the chicken lightly before refrigeration overnight. The kicker was, I did not have any bourbon on hand so I used brandy on 5 boneless chicken breasts and had plenty of the marinade to cover. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will use it again. It was delicious, even with the brandy. My husband said "it's a keeper."

This was okay. Nothing over the top for me. Probably will not make again.

i love this recipe! i added a little more bourbon. and baked it as said to. then turned it into a stir fry. adding the leftover juices for flavor. cooked it till the juices were gone, and served over rice. i will make this a million times over.

I tried all the bourbon chicken recipes online and made some adjustments here and there, but the flavor is always a little different from the bourbon chicken I have at malls. Luckily I found a good product online at bourbonchicken.com, and their sauces are awesome! Now I can save time preparing sauce ingredients, save money from buying bourbon chicken at the shopping mall, and have a great time doing grill with my kids. The flavor becomes so easy to achieve at home!

This was awesome! Except for halving the recipe and using turkey instead of chicken I followed it exactly. The flavors were wonderfully and it was extremely moist. My husband didn't even realize it was turkey until I told him. I will definately be making this again.

My husband and I thought this dish was pretty good. I didn't have any ginger so I left that out. I let the chicken marinate for about 9 hours then I cooked it on the stovetop in my wok. I served it with rice and chinese vegetable mix. We will make this again! Also was a very quick dinner!

May or may not make it again. It was pretty good, not AWESOME though. I substituted minced onions for onion flakes, and I cubed the chicken before baking for 45 minutes. If I do it again, I'll bake for a half hour, and increase the time if needed. Bourbon wasn't overbearing, and it was sweet, but also not overbearing.

This was the tastiest chicken I have ever made. The only modifications that I made were to use fresh garlic and onion powder instead of flakes. It came out so flavorful (I only marinated the breasts for about 2 hours. I Have never had the "mall" bourbon chicken that is so fondly spoken of in other reviews, so I had no expectations going in, lol. We will definately make this again!

Forget the bourbon and substitute with 2 cups white grape juice, then add 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and 2 tablesoons oyster sauce.

Two things terribly wrong with this recipe - cooking time and the onion flakes. Cooking time is much too long. One hour is about perfect with the chicken quite tender and tasty. Cook for 1.5 hours and it's quite a different story with the chicken dried out and tasteless. Don't use onion flakes! If you like the taste of onion then add it as onion powder because the flakes look very odd and unappetizing on the finished product that leads everyone to ask "What is this stuff?". Overall, there is much wrong with the recipe - soy sauce taste too strong, bourbon taste too strong, and sickly sweet at the same time. I don't know how to alter the recipe either except I'm tempted to add some chicken broth to mellow out the flavors. Don't think I will bother though. Instead I will try out some other recipes.

I followed the adjustments made by others. Vanilla instead of bourbon, more brown sugar. My picky eating boyfriend loved it.

Very much like Charlie Chiang's recipe.

Delicious! Squeeze some fresh orange over your rice for added taste bud pleasure!

I loved it and wouldn't change a thing! Husband said he could taste the alcohol and was too sweet, so that's why I rated a four. I'll definetly make again, but maybe when he's out of town...haha

I added more brown sugar and less bourbon (I used Jack Daniels). I used fresh onion and cooked the chicken on the stove with olive oil. I removed the cooked chicken and kept it warm in the oven. I added the marinade to the pan in which I cooked the chicken. I thickened it with cornstarch water. Served over rice with green beans on the side. It was a hit, but only because I read all the other reviews and modified the original recipe accordingly.

I've made this recipe twice. The first time was this summer and I cooked it on the grill after marinading. It turned out pretty well, but I oversaturated it with the bourbon sauce. The second time was just last night, and I made it as instructed (Only, I cut the chicken into pieces first). It turned out well, only I think I cooked the chicken for too long. Next time I’ll put it in for about a ¾ of the time.
