This Bourbon Street Chicken recipe is named after the popular street in New Orleans, LA. I’ve never had the famous chicken there, but this copy-cat version is absolutely delicious!
This Bourbon Street Chicken has quickly become a new family-fave ever since I first made it. This amazing chicken is named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. I have never been there, or had the famous chicken there, but this copy-cat version is absolutely delicious!
This recipe does not have any Bourbon alcohol in it. I’m sure it would be even better with the Bourbon. I would add a 1/4 cup if it was something I had on hand. This chicken is so flavorful and so easy to make either way. It’s a definite win for a simple weeknight meal! 🙂

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup apple or pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup

- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add vegetable oil. Place chicken pieces to skillet and cook and stir for about 10 minutes, or until no longer pink.
- Drain any juices. Return skillet to stove top and continue cooking over medium high heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine garlic, apple or pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water, soy sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes and cornstarch. Whisk it all together until the cornstarch is dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
