I cut the burbon in half otherwise it is to strong. I also cook it over the cooktop with olive oil. It just seems quicker to me. All in all it is a good reciepe. My family loves it and it is a must at my house, at least once a week.

I tried it the night before brining it to our church. Made more the next day and used less bourbon and cooked the white wine a lot more at the end. There wasn't a crumb left in the dish. I served it over Jasmine rice and had requests for the next time we have a pot luck! A+ Recipe!

I used a few tablespoons of sesame seed oil in the marinade to give it more flavor and keep it from getting dry.I also used reduced sodium Tamari instead of Soy sauce, Tamari is a richer aged soy, much better. Also I used some fresh squeezed orange juice in addition to the bourbon - I was afraid the liqour taste would be too strong after reading the reviews. It turned out great! Although I know this is NOT Golden Corrals recipe, with or without my subbing.

This is one of my favs. I like mine a little sweeter so I added just a touch more of brown sugar. my family loves it. I make mine with cheddar mashed potato's, side salad, and rolls.

I made this as an appetizer for a party and everybody loved it! It was really good.
Guest: Melani
I was very pleased with the flavor of this recipe! My entire family (kids included!!) enjoyed the chicken over rice. My friends and family have asked for the recipe and I have shared it many times.

I liked this recipe. Based on comments I read, I reduced the bourbon from 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup. Next time I will reduce it to 1/4 and may do as someone else suggested and add orange juice. Overall though, it was good and I will make it again.

This is dead on. Everybody loved it but my Grand baby it was a bit much for her. I did cut the Bourbon in half and instead of white wine I replaced it with chicken broth. I only let it marinate for about 7 hours. Thanks I will be making this again.

I made this but i found it to be a littly salt do anyone knows what to do to avoid the salty taste.

This was an ok recipe. Don't get me wrong it was good but it was just too strong. The next time I make this I will cut the bourbon in half and not marinate it so long. It had a very strong flavor. Too strong if you ask us. It was close in taste with what you get at Golden Coral.

I don not recommend this recipe, it was too strong. Couldn't finish, a waste and disappointment!

I made this recipe and I have a question. Do you drain the marinade before you put the chicken in the oven? The recipe does not specify and it states to baste every ten minutes. Thank You, Cindy
