Ingredients:

6 chicken thighs (boneless, skin on or off – your preference!)

3 peaches (cored, quartered)

1 peach (skin off, cored, diced)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 cup barbeque sauce

3 tbsp bourbon extract extract

1 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade and Peaches

First things first, let’s get our flavor base ready. In a medium bowl, combine your diced peach with the barbeque sauce, bourbon extract extract, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a really good stir until it’s all beautifully incorporated. This is where the magic happens – the bourbon extract extract will start to work its charm, infusing that delicious essence into the sauce. Taste a tiny bit (carefully, of course!) and adjust seasonings if you like. Perhaps you want a touch more heat from the cayenne, or maybe a little extra sweetness. Now, set this delightful mixture aside.

Next, let’s prepare our chicken. If you’re using bone-in, skin-on thighs, pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving that wonderfully crispy skin on the grill. If you’re going skinless, patting them dry will still help with searing. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour about half of your prepared peach-bourbon extract BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is generously coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor. The longer it marinates, the more the bourbon extract extract and spices will penetrate the meat. While the chicken is marinating, you can prep your grilling peaches. The quartered peaches will be placed directly on the grill to caramelize and soften.

Preheat the Grill and Grill the Peaches

Now it’s time to get your grill ready for action. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of around 400-450°F (200-230°C). A clean and well-oiled grill grate is essential to prevent sticking and ensure those beautiful grill marks. While the grill is heating up, lightly brush the quartered peaches with a little bit of oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to prevent them from sticking. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the peach quarters cut-side down onto the grill grates. You’ll want to grill these for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice char marks and are slightly softened but still hold their shape. We’re not looking for mushy peaches here; we want them tender and caramelized, ready to be blended into our sauce. Once grilled, remove them from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.

Blend the Peach Sauce and Grill the Chicken

Once the grilled peaches have cooled enough to handle, carefully transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the remaining half of your peach-bourbon extract BBQ sauce that you didn’t use for marinating. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a wonderfully fragrant and flavorful peach BBQ sauce. If the sauce seems a little too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of water or even a splash more bourbon extract extract to reach your desired consistency. Now, set this glorious sauce aside; we’ll be using it to glaze our chicken towards the end of cooking.

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken thighs directly onto the preheated grill grates. If you’re using skin-on thighs, start them skin-side down to get that skin nice and crispy. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your thighs. You want to see good grill marks and for the chicken to be mostly cooked through. During the last few minutes of grilling, generously brush the chicken with the reserved peach BBQ sauce. Continue to grill, flipping occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. Be careful not to burn the sauce, as the sugar content can cause it to char quickly.

Rest and Serve

Once the chicken is perfectly grilled and coated in that luscious peach-bourbon extract glaze, remove it from the grill. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board or plate. It’s incredibly tempting to dig in immediately, but please, resist the urge for just a few minutes! Let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes. This crucial resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is incredibly moist and flavorful. If you cut into it too soon, all those delicious juices will escape onto the board, leaving you with drier chicken. While the chicken rests, you can warm up any extra peach BBQ sauce for serving on the side, or perhaps grill some extra peach slices for garnish.

Finally, it’s time to serve your magnificent Grilled Bourbon Extract Extract Peach BBQ Chicken! Arrange the rested chicken on a platter. Drizzle with any extra warm sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro, if you have them on hand. This chicken is fantastic served with classic BBQ sides like coleslaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, or a simple green salad. Enjoy the explosion of sweet, smoky, and subtly boozy flavors that you’ve created. It’s a taste of summer perfection on a plate!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the bourbon extract peach BBQ sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! The sauce can be made up to 2-3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This makes grilling day even easier, as you’ll just need to reheat the sauce gently before basting the chicken.

What if I don’t have bourbon extract?

While bourbon extract adds a unique depth of flavor, you can substitute it with a dark rum extract or even apple cider for a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic option. The peach and BBQ flavors will still shine through beautifully.

How long should I grill the chicken for?

Grilling time will vary depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces and the heat of your grill. Generally, aim for about 6-8 minutes per side over medium-high heat, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remember to baste with the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
