Bourbon Chicken

By kimvess

Instead of chicken quarters, you can use meaty chicken pieces. Whichever you choose, the honey-mustard-bourbon marinade will give a sweet mellow flavor to grilled chicken.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
• 1/3 cup bourbon
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 chicken (3 pounds), quartered
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
