Cooking Instructions

Preparing the Chicken and Marinade

First things first, let’s get our chicken ready. I prefer using boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they cook quickly and absorb flavor wonderfully, but feel free to use skin-on if you love that extra crispy bite. Pat your chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving a good sear on the grill. In a medium bowl, we’re going to create our flavor base. Combine the bourbon extract extract, barbeque sauce, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Give this mixture a good stir until everything is well incorporated. Now, add your chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in this aromatic marinade. If you have the time, letting the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator, will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat even deeper. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before grilling if it’s been refrigerated.

Creating the Peach Bourbon Extract Glaze

While the chicken is marinating, let’s turn our attention to the star of the show – the peach glaze. Take your three cored and quartered peaches and a small saucepan. Add these peach quarters to the saucepan along with about 1/4 cup of water. We’re going to cook these down until they become very soft and easily mashable. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes over medium heat. Once they’ve softened, remove them from the heat and carefully mash them with a fork or potato masher right in the saucepan. You’re looking for a chunky, saucy consistency. Don’t worry about it being perfectly smooth; those little peach bits add wonderful texture. Now, stir in the diced peach (the one with the skin removed). This will add a fresher, brighter peach flavor to the glaze. Continue to cook this mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the diced peach to soften slightly and the flavors to meld. This peach mixture will be the base for our vibrant glaze.

Grilling the Chicken and Glazing

Now it’s time for the grill! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken thighs directly on the hot grill grates. We want to get a nice char on both sides. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until you see those beautiful grill marks appearing. While the chicken is grilling, let’s finish that peach glaze. Take the saucepan with the mashed and diced peaches and add the remaining barbeque sauce and bourbon extract extract. Stir well to combine and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has thickened slightly. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

The Final Glazing and Cooking

This is where the magic happens. Once the chicken has cooked for about 8-10 minutes total and is showing good char marks, it’s time to start glazing. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the peach bourbon extract glaze all over the chicken thighs. Flip the chicken and glaze the other side. Continue to grill, turning and glazing every few minutes, for another 8-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is wonderfully caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Keep a close eye on it as the sugars in the glaze can cause it to burn quickly. If you notice any parts browning too fast, you can move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill. The glaze should be sticky and slightly bubbly, creating a beautiful, glossy finish on the chicken.

Resting and Serving

Once the chicken is perfectly cooked and beautifully glazed, remove it from the grill and place it on a clean plate or cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This resting period is essential for allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring it stays moist and tender. Skipping this step can result in dry chicken. While the chicken is resting, you can quickly grill the remaining peach quarters from your initial peaches until they are slightly softened and have nice grill marks. These grilled peaches make for a fantastic accompaniment. Once rested, serve the Bourbon Extract Extract Peach BBQ Chicken hot, perhaps with some of those grilled peaches on the side, and get ready to enjoy the incredible symphony of flavors! This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or any time you’re craving something truly delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I make the bourbon extract extract peach BBQ sauce ahead of time?

A: Absolutely! The sauce can be made a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This can save you time on grilling day.

Q: What if I don’t have a grill? Can I bake this chicken?

A: Yes, you can! While grilling imparts a wonderful smoky flavor and char, you can bake this chicken in the oven at around 375°F (190°C) until cooked through, basting with the sauce during the last 15-20 minutes. You might want to finish it under the broiler for a few minutes to get some color.

Q: Are there any substitutions for peach?

A: For a similar sweet and fruity profile, you could try using nectarines or apricots. Mango could also offer a delicious tropical twist!
