I made this for a few friends and they loved it! Still asking me to fix it again next time they're over. I made it for 3 people and used about $5 worth of chicken tenders which I cut up into bite sized pieces. I added about a tablespoon of honey and used an airplane sized bottle of bourbon and cut down on the soy sauce. I marintaed it for about 2.5 hours then stir fried it until done. I can't wait to make this again!

If you have been to the Cajun Grill or Asian Chao, this recipe does not come close. I have tried every recipe on the Internet for this dish have yet to find any recipe close to the fast food chains. I found this recipe definately to have too much of the bourbon in it. The second time I used this recipe, I reduced the bourbon and still found it to be too much. I have since found out that mall version of this recipe does not use bourbon at all!

This dish is absolutely delicious! I added a tablespoon of honey just to embellish a little. I may try to shred the chicken next time, rather than leave the breasts whole, but the flavor is phenomenal! The bourbon/soy/ginger mixture serves as a great sauce I have found, not just for the chicken but also on rice or mashed potatoes. A++

Really enjoyed this recipe, and thought it was incredibly easy. I used whiskey instead of bourbon, I figured same difference. I doubled the recipe and it turned out well, I used low sodium soy sauce, and added about 1 tbsp. of honey to cut back on the saltiness. The meat turned out tender, I also think this could be good on the grill, I'll have to see come summer.

this was really good. I didn't even marinate ahead of time just put it in the pan and baked. I put sugar to taste and after tasting the sauce before pouring--- the bourbon taste was quite strong. I was afraid the kids would not eat it so I added a little teriyaki sauce to tone it down for them. I could not believe it was so flavorful even without marinating. It looked very appetizing too it turned a nice golden bronze after baking. Will make again. Thanks Lucy Loo!

Very good! This is one of those dishes that travels to family get-togethers. I upped the bourbon a little, but that's a matter of personal taste.

This recipe is not bad. It just needs some adjustments to work. I read a lot of the reviews before I made it and decided on several changes. I chunked the chicken before placing in the marinade. I also marinaded for about six hours rather than overnight. Because I wasn't sure how it would turn out I only bought an airplane size bottle of bourbon. Turns out that is about a 1/4 cup. I didn't think the alcohol taste was too strong. I also added an extra 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I didn't have dried onion or garlic powder on hand so I used fresh grated onion and a clove of chopped garlic. I decided to stir-fry the meat and it worked out wonderfully, however be careful not to over cook the chicken. I also boiled the sauce to reduce it. I let it cook for about 15 minutes at a hard boil and I still thought it was too runny. Next time I won't cook down all the sauce, it made a lot. I served the chicken with white rice and steamed veggies. It turned out sweet and had a taste similar to Hawaiian style Teryaki. Since I have never had Bourbon Chicken from the mall I can't really compair. My husband who isn't a fan of Asian food and my one year old daughter both really liked the chicken. I will make this again.

I was so excited to try out this recipe but it ended being super disapointing. Way too much alcohol. My boyfriend and I could not even eat it.

This chicken has a wonderful flavor, but the presentation is lacking. Also the cooking time was too long if you use boneless skinless breasts.Perhaps it could use a demi-glaze or sauce to make it appear more appetizing. Otherwise, I like some reviewers ideas of using it for stir fry or in a sauce over steamed rice. Thanks for sharing, Lucy.

This was ok.....but nothing like what you find at the mall. Too much bourbon, too much salt, not enough sweetness.

I followed the recipe exactly and the result was disappointing. The result was something ok edible but definately not the same bourbon chicken I've enjoyed at the malls. I am curious as to how this person acquired this recipe to make the claim of any simularity to the malls product. I will not try this recipe again!

I used Jack Daniel's instead of bourbon whiskey and only 3 packets of soy sauce instead of 3 oz. I chopped it in pieces. I left it marinading for 32 hours before cooking and flipped the container every 8 hours. Before cooking, I left a bit more whiskey in it and left it sitting for 15 mins. After baking for 45 mins, I threw it all in the frying pan and cooked it in it's own gravy. I dumped some more whiskey into it and cooked it flambé until the flame extinguished. I left the gravy thicken and voila. The only problem with the recipe was that it asked for less chicken than demand and everyone was angry because they wanted more. I can't just hurry and make it right away, it takes 32 hrs. For that, it lost the 5th star.

This recipe did not appeal to me nor my husband. It was way too salty even though I used the low sodium soy sauce. The chicken was also very dry. I will not use this recipe again.

I made this for my husband and I and another couple. I cut up 8 boneless breasts (smaller Tyson ones) into bite-sized pieces and marinated over nite and then baked it as instructed and it was delicious. We ate it all, served over rice. I was embarrassed that I didn't have more to serve! The bourbon taste wasn't too strong - maybe because I baked it long enough. Yummy.
