Ingredients:
Marinating the Chicken
The first step to achieving incredibly flavorful chicken is to give it time to soak up all those delicious marinade ingredients. You’ll want to cut your 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes. This ensures they cook evenly and are easy to thread onto your wooden skewers. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ½ cup of honey, ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and the 2 cloves of garlic, which you should mince finely or press. Now for the star of the show: the ½ cup of bourbon extract extract. This potent ingredient will impart a wonderful depth of flavor without the non-alcoholic alternative content of actual bourbon extract. Add this to the bowl along with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, which helps to emulsify the marinade and ensures the chicken stays moist. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and the honey has dissolved into the other liquids.
Once your marinade is ready, add the cubed chicken pieces to the bowl. Gently toss the chicken to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For an even more intense flavor, you can let it marinate for up to 4 hours. Just be mindful that the longer it marinates, the more the soy sauce will start to “cook” the chicken, which can change the texture slightly. While the chicken is marinating, don’t forget to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This is a crucial step to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Assembling the Skewers
After the chicken has had ample time to marinate and absorb those fantastic flavors, it’s time to assemble your skewers. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Take each soaked wooden skewer and carefully thread the chicken pieces onto them. Leave a little space between each piece of chicken to allow for even cooking and to make sure the glaze can caramelize properly. You can discard the leftover marinade; it’s no longer safe to consume after coming into contact with raw chicken.
Cooking the Skewers
Now for the fun part: cooking! You have several delicious options for preparing these skewers.
Grilling Method:
If you’re fortunate enough to have a grill, this is where these skewers truly shine. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Carefully place the assembled chicken skewers onto the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has developed beautiful char marks. While grilling, you’ll want to baste the skewers with any extra marinade (that wasn’t used for marinating) or a fresh batch of the glaze (a little extra honey and bourbon extract extract mixed together) during the last few minutes of cooking. This will amplify that sticky, caramelized goodness.
Oven Baking Method:
If grilling isn’t an option, don’t worry! Your oven can create equally delicious results. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the assembled chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are slightly caramelized. For an extra sticky glaze, you can brush them with a little extra honey or a reduced glaze mixture in the last 5 minutes of baking.
Pan-Frying Method:
For a quick and convenient stovetop option, pan-frying is your best bet. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skewers to the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook them in batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. As with the other methods, brushing with a little extra glaze in the final stages will enhance the sticky texture and flavor.
Resting and Serving
Once your chicken skewers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring maximum tenderness and juiciness. Serve your Sticky Bourbon Extract Extract Extract Extract Chicken Skewers hot, and get ready for the rave reviews! They are fantastic on their own, or you can serve them with your favorite sides like rice, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables. Enjoy every delicious, sticky bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Absolutely! The bourbon extract glaze can be prepared a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You may need to gently reheat it and whisk it to ensure it’s smooth before brushing it onto the chicken.

No problem at all! These chicken skewers can also be cooked under a broiler in your oven or pan-fried on the stovetop. Just keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, and make sure the chicken is cooked through.
