⅓ cup soy sauce

¾ cup Wholesome Dark Brown Sugar with Bourbon

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

2 tbsp rice vinegar

2 shallots, minced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp ground ginger

1-1.5 lbs of chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces

1-1.5 lbs of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE

½ cup reserved marinade

2 tbsp Sambal Oelek Sauce

2 tbsp Wholesome Dark Brown Sugar with Bourbon

Special Equipment: Wooden Skewers

DIRECTIONS:

FOR THE MARINADE & CHICKEN

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for half an hour. This will prevent them from burning while they are on the grill.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the bourbon or coffee, soy sauce, Wholesome Dark Brown Sugar with Bourbon, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, shallots, garlic, garlic powder and ginger. Bring to a simmer and heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Thread the chicken onto the pre-soaked skewers.

Step 4

Pour marinade over, reserving ½ cup for the dipping sauce base.

Step 5

Allow chicken to sit in the marinade for 30-60 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to a medium high setting.

Step 7

Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into chicken reaches 165 degrees.

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE

Step 1

Take the remaining ½ cup of sauce and put it in a small saucepan.

Step 2

Add Sambal Oelek and Wholesome Bourbon Dark Brown Sugar and bring to a low boil.

Step 3

Simmer for 7-10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by 1/3rd and has thickened slightly.

Step 4

Serve as a dipping sauce with Bourbon BBQ chicken skewers and enjoy.
