Bourbon Chicken: Does it Pack a Boozy Punch?

[Kurt]

Hey everyone! I've heard conflicting opinions about whether Bourbon Chicken actually tastes boozy or not. Does it have a noticeable alcohol flavor, or is it more about the savory sauce? Let's sip on this topic together and see if Bourbon Chicken lives up to its name!

Hey there! Bourbon Chicken doesn’t really taste boozy at all. The alcohol in the bourbon mostly cooks off, so you’re left with a rich, savory sauce instead. The flavors come from the mix of soy sauce, garlic, and spices, not the alcohol. So, it’s more about that yummy, savory taste than a strong bourbon kick.

Hey! Bourbon Chicken’s got that savory goodness without a strong booze taste—just rich, flavorful sauce. Thanks for asking, glad you’re into it!
