Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium
heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté
until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the next
7 ingredients. Reduce heat to a simmer
and cook slowly for 20 minutes; until the
sauce thickens. Stir in bourbon.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill.

sauce. Brush chicken lightly with
remaining sauce and cook for 2 minutes
longer.
