Baked Peach-Bourbon BBQ Chicken Breast

Ingredients

Sauce:

• 1 cup ketchup
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup bourbon (such as Four Roses®)
• ¼ cup peach preserves
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning (such as McCormick®)
• ½ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Chicken:

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

• Step 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Step 2 Combine ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, peach preserves, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, steak seasoning, and liquid smoke flavoring in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve half the sauce for later use.
• Step 3 Place chicken on a sheet pan or broiling tray and brush sauce onto the chicken with a basting brush.
• Step 4 Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip chicken breasts over and baste with reserved sauce.
• Step 5 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven’s broiler.
• Step 6 Broil chicken and continue to baste and flip the chicken every 3 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook’s Note:

Properly stored, this sauce will last in the refrigerator for weeks.
