How To Make not so bourbon chicken

  • 1

  • 3

  • 7
    when your chicken has a light brown sear on some of the pieces, pour the sauce into the pan. stir it around to cover all the chicken pieces.
  • 8
    reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pan with the lid at an angle to allow some of the steam to escape.
