I just tried this recipe. It is a BIG disappointment! This is nothing like the Bourbon Chicken at the Cajun Cafe, or any other mall food stand. The sauce was water thin, no sweetness to it, and had no smell like the mall chicken. I followed the recipe exactly, adding vanilla intead of bourbon like other recipes have directed, including one commenter on this site. Will not make this recipe again, but still trying to find that magic combination that will emulate the real thing!

Mine did not look like this (the sauce was way thinner) and though it tasted good, it tasted nothing like the mall bourbon chicken (as I hoped!).

  I am sorry yours didn’t turn out. My picture was that of the recipe. Maybe if you would have reduced the sauce we would have had something that looked a little closer.

  TRY ADDING SOME LIQUID HICKORY SMOKE JUST A LITTLE TO GIVE IT THAT SMOKEY FLAVOR.

The mall or fair version adds vanilla extract and does not add any real bourbon at all.

When you buy this at the mall, is it really made with bourbon or do they have another mix of ingredients that omits the whisky?

  Personally, I think they may add some flavoring, or they add so little, the bourbon is most likely the most expensive ingredient in the dish.

This sounds good.. but I don’t see any ingredient that makes it hot??

  You could add between 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to give this heat.
