There’s this food court restaurant we have here in Vancouver called Bourbon Street Grill. It is DELICIOUS. It’s a Louisiana style BBQ place, and they have something called bourbon chicken which is basically just heavenly. While I was browsing through Pinterest today, I came across a recipe called honey bourbon chicken and I was reminded of how much I love the chicken at this fast food place, so I had to give it a try. While it didn’t turn out like the restaurant’s bourbon chicken, it was easy and delicious. I’d definitely make it again! PS- there is no bourbon in this recipe.

Isabella Grey says
That looks amazing! I can’t cook, but if I can just throw it in my crock pot, I’ll give this a go for sure!
Chelsea says
Hahaha yup I am slowly learning to cook and my crock pot has been my savior. You just can’t go wrong!
Karen says
This looks like a delicious recipe. I have a slow cooker somewhere that I really need to use more! My husband would love it if I made this for dinner!

My parents bought us one for Christmas and I’m SO glad they did. You can make so many great things in it and it’s sooo easy! My bf definitely appreciates it :)
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
That sounds so delicious. I am a big fan of making things in my crock pot. I like to make dinner in the afternoon when the kids are at school & that way dinner is ready when we get home from our after school activities.
Chelsea says
Agreed. I like to throw everything together in the crockpot when I’m waiting for my lunch to cook and then by the time dinner comes around it’s hot and ready!
Terry says
This sounds so good and I just ate, but you are making me want to eat this. I love using my slow cooker, just throw everything in, come back later and eat. YUM!
Chelsea says
Haha I want to eat it too. I am tempted to make this for dinner even though I have other plans already.. :)

Kecia says
This chicken recipe sounds like a great way to mix up dinner. We use the same herbs, spices, and sauces so much they can get a little boring.

We can be that way too. Getting this slow cooker for Christmas has forced us to make new things though!

Yup, that looks delicious! It’s definitely going on my menu plan!

Lisette says
Yum!!! I will definitely be making this for dinner tonight
Toni Marie Caravello says
So I made this the other day and my husband went nuts over it. He keeps asking me when I am going to make it again. Truth be told I thought it came out ok, but I am not a fan of these types of sauces. Or maybe I just don’t like my own cooking LOL. Anyway, I will make it again for my husband at some point. Thanks again. It was very easy to make and fun, so…I think maybe I put too much onion… a whole instead of a half and I doubled the recipe too so I thought it would be fine. Oh well he loved it.
The Savings Pro says
I will definitely be giving this one a try this week, made my list of the few things i need to make it. This should be a hit with the family.
Ashley d says
I just pinned this as I will definitely be trying this soon! Looks so good!
