Bourbon Chicken is a flavorful dish named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, reflecting its fusion of American Cajun and Asian-inspired flavors. Typically made with tender pieces of chicken, the dish is marinated in a rich glaze of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and, occasionally, bourbon whiskey, but most recipes omit the alcohol. It's pan-seared or grilled to achieve a caramelized finish, resulting in a sweet and savory profile. While Bourbon Chicken is high in protein, its nutritional aspects vary based on preparation. The sweet glaze often contains significant sugar, making it less ideal for low-sugar diets. It can also be high in sodium due to soy sauce. Opting for reduced-sodium ingredients or balancing portion size can make it a healthier choice. Paired with steamed vegetables or served over rice, Bourbon Chicken remains a hearty and indulgent favorite in mall food courts and casual dining.
