This instant pot one-pot wonder is seriously amazing! I can't say enough about it. I made 4 pieces and all were gone the same night. (There is only the two of us at home!) My husband devoured it like it was his last meal LOL! With a sweet, spicy flavor it's just heaven on a plate. We put ours over rice, See how to make rice on our home page. We keep a bottle of bourbon around JUST for this recipe. We are not drinkers at all, but this recipe honestly is to die for...
Is there alcohol in bourbon chicken?
This recipe does call for bourbon, hence the name. The alcohol evaporates as the sauce simmers, but if you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute apple juice and it'll still be delicious.
