Bourbon Chik'n



My roommate has been craving bourbon chicken ever since he saw I bought bourbon for my Bourbon Baked Beans, so we decided to make a vegan version to try.

Ingredients:
1-2 cup Broccoli Flouretts
1-2 cup Pea Pods

Sauce (we used this recipe for the sauce:Bourbon Chicken):

4 ounces soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons onion flakes
1/3 cup bourbon

Cook the Morningstar Chik'n to package instructions.  Mix all sauce ingredients together and marinade chik'n overnight in a ziploc bag or container.  Shake container a few times through out the day if you are able.

Bake chik'n and marinade in oven at 325ยบ for 30-45 minutes, stirring or basting frequently.  Meanwhile, cook broccoli and peas in a frying pan with ½ water until softened.

Combine bourbon chik'n and veggies and serve over rice.

Verdict:  According to my roommate, chef assistant Paul, it was nothing like the mall bourbon chicken as the recipe said.  I enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't make it again for myself.  We may be experimenting with other bourbon chik'n recipes in the future.
