Bourbon Chicken
When I say “bourbon” at home, ears perk up. And when it has to do with a weeknight dinner, interest in that meal goes from a five to a ten with that one word. The smoky, savory flavor from a favorite happy hour drink has found its way to our traditional Tuesday chicken dinners. Smoky Baked Beans go well with the rough-and-tumble flavor of this chicken dish.
