For a richer flavor, consider using a bourbon with caramel or vanilla notes. If you don't have a cedar plank, you can grill the chicken directly on the grates. Be sure to monitor the temperature closely to prevent overcooking. The marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Serve with a side of grilled peaches or mango for an extra touch of sweetness. Adjust the amount of brown sugar and bourbon to suit your taste preferences.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine the diced peach and mango, minced garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme, brown sugar, black pepper, bourbon whiskey, olive oil, and white wine vinegar. Puree until smooth. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 hrs
Marinate the Chicken: Pour 2/3 of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. Reserve the remaining marinade in a sealed container in the refrigerator. (5 hours +)
03
Step
10 mins
Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill and lightly brush it with olive oil. (10 minutes)
04
Step
20 mins
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Once the cedar plank begins to smoke and char slightly, place the marinated chicken breasts on the plank. Cook the chicken for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade to add a final layer of flavor and a beautiful glaze. (20 minutes)
05
StepRest and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken. Serve the Nectar Bourbon Chicken hot off the grill, accompanied by your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad.
