Cooking Instructions

Prep the Chicken and Marinade

First things first, let’s get our chicken ready. Pat your chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving a good sear on the grill. If you’re using skin-on thighs, this step will help render the skin beautifully crispy. In a medium bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. This spice blend will form the base of our flavorful rub. Sprinkle this mixture generously over both sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. You can let the chicken sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes while you prepare the glaze and get your grill ready. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat and the chicken to cook more evenly on the grill.

Craft the Bourbon Extract Peach Glaze

Now for the star of the show – the bourbon extract peach glaze! In a small saucepan, combine the diced, peeled peach, sugar, barbeque sauce, and the magical bourbon extract extract. We’re going to cook this down gently to create a luscious, syrupy glaze. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved and the peaches have started to soften. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. As it simmers, the peaches will break down further, releasing their juices and creating a beautiful, vibrant sauce. The bourbon extract extract will infuse the glaze with its rich, complex aroma and taste, complementing the sweetness of the peaches perfectly. You want a consistency that will coat the back of a spoon but isn’t too thick. If it becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water to thin it out slightly.

Grill the Peaches for Added Flavor

While our glaze is simmering, let’s move on to those quartered peaches. Grilling the peaches will caramelize their natural sugars, adding another layer of sweetness and a delightful smoky char. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the quartered peaches, cut-side down, directly on the hot grill. Grill them for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened but still hold their shape. You don’t want them to become mushy. Once grilled, remove them from the heat and set them aside. These grilled peach quarters will be a beautiful accompaniment to the finished chicken, and can even be mashed into the glaze for extra peach goodness, though we’ve already incorporated diced peach for that effect.

Grill the Bourbon Extract Peach BBQ Chicken

It’s time to bring it all together on the grill! Ensure your grill is still at a medium-high heat. Carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs onto the preheated grill grates. If you’re using skin-on thighs, start with the skin-side down to crisp it up first. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your thighs. You’re looking for those beautiful char marks and for the chicken to be almost cooked through. During the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, it’s time to brush on that glorious bourbon extract peach glaze. Brush a generous layer of the glaze over both sides of the chicken. The sugar in the glaze will caramelize beautifully on the grill, creating a sticky, delicious coating. Continue to grill, flipping the chicken and basting with more glaze every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the glaze is thick and bubbly. Be careful not to burn the glaze; if it starts to char too quickly, reduce the grill heat slightly.

Rest and Serve Your Masterpiece

Once the chicken is perfectly cooked and coated in that irresistible glaze, remove it from the grill. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate or cutting board and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This resting period is crucial for allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring it remains incredibly moist and tender. Skipping this step can lead to dry chicken. While the chicken rests, you can give the grilled peach quarters a quick warm-up on the grill if they’ve cooled down too much, or simply serve them as is. To serve, arrange the rested chicken thighs on a platter and garnish with the grilled peach quarters. You can also drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for an extra punch of flavor. This Grilled Bourbon Extract Extract Peach BBQ Chicken is delicious served with a side of coleslaw, grilled corn on the cob, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the explosion of sweet, smoky, and bourbon extract-infused flavors!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the bourbon extract peach BBQ sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! The sauce is even better when made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

What if I don’t have a grill? Can I still make this?

Yes! You can achieve similar delicious results by baking the chicken in the oven and then broiling it for the last few minutes to get some char and caramelization. Alternatively, a grill pan on the stovetop can also work well.

How long does the chicken need to marinate?

For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but up to 4 hours in the refrigerator will yield even more incredible taste. Avoid marinating for too long, as the acidity in the marinade can start to break down the chicken’s texture.
