How to Make Maple Bourbon Glazed Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons bourbon, and 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by 1/4 cup.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 1/4 cup mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total), turning once, and brushing frequently with the maple bourbon glaze. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
