Crispy Chicken in Bourbon Sauce with Broccoli You’ll Love

Serving: This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or mashed potatoes, but it’s also great on its own with the crispy chicken and broccoli as a low-carb option. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the chicken in an oven to maintain its crispiness or microwave it, though it may lose some crunch.

Variations:

Add Nuts: For extra texture, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts (such as cashews or peanuts) on top of the chicken before serving.

Spicy Version: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the bourbon sauce for a spicy kick.

Vegetable Swap: Instead of broccoli, feel free to use green beans, asparagus, or any other vegetable of your choice.

FAQ:

Q1: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, chicken thighs will work beautifully in this recipe. They are a bit juicier, and their flavor complements the bourbon sauce perfectly.

Q2: Can I make the bourbon sauce without alcohol?
If you prefer to avoid alcohol, you can replace the bourbon with apple cider vinegar or even a mixture of water and a splash of vanilla extract for a similar sweet and tangy flavor.

Q3: How do I make the chicken extra crispy?
For an extra crispy texture, you can double dip the chicken—dip it in the flour, egg, breadcrumbs, then repeat the process for an additional coating of breadcrumbs.
