Southern-Style Bourbon Chicken

Not long ago, my husband, myself, and our two kids saddled up in the car and headed South. We were going to visit my aunt and uncle, along with some of my cousins and their kids, that we hadn’t seen in years. They didn’t have the ability to travel to us, so I made the decision to go see them. I didn’t want to go any longer without seeing them. By the time we waited for the “right time” all the kids would be grown and out of the house. I was afraid they wouldn’t know who I even was. So, away we went on our ten hour car ride. We were so excited to see everyone, it seemed like it took us two days to get there.

Maybe it was because my kids were screaming in the back seat after about the first six hours. I could understand, nobody wants to be in a car for that long. We didn’t even stop for our last meal, we didn’t want to have to get them out and put them back in. I just called my aunt to see if there would be food upon our arrival.

She said, “Of course! Don’t worry about a thing!” After we finally arrived, we were welcome by the most amazing scent of something cooking. I asked what it was and they said well bourbon chicken! Oh, my, gosh…I don’t know if it was just because I was so happy to be out of the car or if I was so hungry, it was the best chicken I had ever tasted. I didn’t leave from that trip without the recipe.
