Yum and it looks low-cal. I might have to try it.
The end result looks so delicious! Going to add this to my recipes to try!
This looks absolutely amazing!!!!
5 star rating!

Looks yumm-o!
Looks yumm-o!
I made this the other day following your recipe. I thought there were way too many sesame seeds. And it was very salty. I like salty (and soy sauce especially) but I wanted others to beware in case blood pressure is a problem.
This looks good. Will you come cook it for me then.
Ive never tried this dish -sounds great and easy to make. Why is it called ‘bourbon’ chicken though?
This looks great, I would probably pile it into a wrap with some veggies from the garden. I am always looking for great ways to flavor chicken, it’s such a great empty canvas.
Oh this looks really good! I LOVE the Bourbon chicken at LeeAnn Chin! I am going to have to try this! I would love to be able to make it at home!!!
