Cajun Bourbon Chicken - Is It Really Cajun?

You see Cajun Bourbon Chicken or bourbon chicken alot at the malls.

It is a tasty dish and is requested quite frequently. So I decided to include it here at Cooking New Orleans Style.

But Granny Boutte has never served this dish.

This recipe is a variation of several Cajun Bourbon recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
• 4 ounces of soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp powdered ginger
• 2 tbs dried minced onion
• 1/2 cup Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey
• 2 tbls white wine
• pinch hot red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Mix everything except chicken and wine in a large bowl. This is the marinade mixture.

2. Pour mixture over chicken and marinade in the refrigerator for several hours.

3. Bake chicken at 350 for 1 hour with 1/2 of marinade, basting every 10 minutes.

4. Remove chicken. Scrape pan juices and brown bits along with the remaining marinade and white wine into a frying pan.

5. Heat until boiling. Add chicken. Heat until chicken is well coated.

6. Chicken can be served as an appetizer or over cooked rice.
