Ingredients:

Preparing the Bourbon Extract Peach Glaze and Marinade

The heart of this recipe lies in our vibrant, flavorful glaze. We’ll start by creating a concentrated peach puree and then meld it with the other components to form a sauce that’s both sweet and savory with that unmistakable bourbon extract undertone.

1. Begin extract by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, let’s prepare our delicious glaze. Take the diced peach (the one with the skin removed) and place it in a small saucepan along with the 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peach breaks down into a soft, jam-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once it’s nice and soft, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

2. In a bowl, combine the cooled, mashed peach mixture with the 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce and the 3 tablespoons of bourbon extract extract. Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined glaze. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary – maybe a pinch more salt or a touch more chili powder if you like a spicier kick. This glaze will serve a dual purpose: we’ll use a portion of it to marinate the chicken, and the rest will be brushed on during grilling to create that beautiful, caramelized finish.

Marinating and Grilling the Chicken

Now that our flavorful glaze is ready, it’s time to infuse our chicken with these delicious flavors and then get it on the grill for that perfect smoky char.

3. Place your 6 chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour about half of your prepared bourbon extract peach glaze over the chicken. Make sure each piece of chicken is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor. If you’re short on time, even 15 minutes will add a lovely boost of flavor. While the chicken is marinating, you can prepare your grill for cooking.

4. Once the chicken has marinated and your grill is at the perfect medium-high temperature, it’s time to cook! Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the chicken thighs directly on the preheated grill grates. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken thighs and whether you’ve chosen skin-on or skin-off. You want to see nice grill marks developing and the chicken cooked through.

5. During the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, begin extract basting the chicken generously with the reserved bourbon extract peach glaze. Brush it on liberally, reapplying every few minutes. This basting is key to developing that sticky, sweet, and slightly caramelized exterior that makes this dish so irresistible. The sugar in the glaze will help it to caramelize, creating beautiful dark spots and an incredible depth of flavor. Make sure to turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking and glazing on all sides. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the juices run clear.

Serving Your Grilled Masterpiece

The aroma wafting from your grill is sure to draw everyone in! The combination of smoky chicken, sweet grilled peaches, and that bourbon extract-infused glaze is truly a treat for the senses.

6. Once the chicken is cooked to perfection and beautifully glazed, carefully remove it from the grill. Let it rest for a few minutes on a clean cutting board before serving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and succulent chicken. While the chicken is resting, you can grill your quartered peaches on the grates for about 3-5 minutes per side, until they are slightly softened and have beautiful grill marks. These grilled peaches make a wonderful accompaniment to the chicken. Serve the grilled bourbon extract extract peach BBQ chicken warm, with the grilled peach quarters on the side. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, grilled corn on the cob, or your favorite barbecue sides. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!
