How to Make Baked Bourbon Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs) with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in 1/2 cup bourbon and whisk until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
- Pour the bourbon sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
