Cooking Instructions

Prep Your Chicken and Marinade

First things first, let’s get our chicken ready. Pat your chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving that beautiful sear on the grill. In a medium bowl, we’re going to create our flavor powerhouse of a marinade. Combine the barbeque sauce, the star of our show – the 3 tablespoons of bourbon extract extract, and all of your dry spices: 1 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder, along with the 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Don’t forget the 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and forms a glossy, aromatic sauce. Now, add your dried chicken thighs to this marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure each piece of chicken is generously coated. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for an even deeper flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerating for up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more the flavors will penetrate the chicken.

Prepare the Peaches

While the chicken is doing its flavorful work, let’s get the peaches ready. We’re using the peaches in two ways for maximum peachy goodness. For the grilled peaches, take your 3 cored and quartered peaches. We’re going to give them a light toss with just a tiny pinch of the sugar – about 1/4 teaspoon to bring out their natural sweetness. This will help them caramelize beautifully on the grill. For the diced peach, take your one peach, peel it, core it, and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. This diced peach will be stirred into our sauce later for an extra burst of fresh peach flavor and texture. Set both the grilled peach quarters and the diced peach aside.

Grill the Peaches

Now, let’s get our grill fired up. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is the perfect temperature for getting a nice char on the peaches without them turning to mush. Lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the peach quarters, cut-side down, onto the hot grill. You want to grill them for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and have softened slightly. They should still hold their shape. The sugars in the peaches will caramelize beautifully, creating a lovely sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the savory chicken. Once grilled, remove them from the grill and set them aside. These are going to be a fantastic garnish and a delicious side element.

Grill the Chicken

It’s time for the main event: grilling the chicken! Make sure your grill is still at a medium-high heat. If you marinated your chicken in the same bowl you plan to grill from, you might want to transfer the chicken to a clean plate to avoid cross-contamination with any raw juices. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the marinated chicken thighs directly onto the hot grill grates. We want to cook these for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken and whether you’re cooking with skin on or off. Use a good pair of tongs to flip them. You’re looking for nice char marks on both sides and for the chicken to be cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking, as chicken thighs can become dry if left on the grill for too long.

Final Glaze and Finishing Touches

As the chicken is nearing completion, let’s add the final layer of flavor. In the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, you can brush the chicken with a little extra of your favorite barbeque sauce if you like an extra sticky coating. Now, for that fresh peach element: while the chicken is resting for a minute or two off the grill, gently fold your diced peach into the remaining barbeque sauce and bourbon extract extract mixture that was used for marinating (assuming you reserved some or made a little extra for this purpose). This will create a delicious, chunky peach salsa-like topping. Spoon this fresh peach mixture over the grilled chicken thighs just before serving. The warmth from the chicken will slightly soften the diced peaches, releasing their sweet juices. Garnish with the grilled peach quarters and serve immediately. This dish is absolutely divine served with rice, a fresh salad, or your favorite grilled vegetables. Enjoy the incredible fusion of flavors!

Try grilling some extra peach slices alongside the chicken for a beautiful garnish, or serve it over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal. You can also easily adapt this recipe. If bourbon extract isn’t your preference, a good quality dark rum extract or even apple cider can be substituted in the marinade.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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

Absolutely! The sauce can be made a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld even further, making it even more delicious. Just give it a good stir before brushing it onto the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling.

What if I don’t have a grill? Can I make this indoors?

While the grill imparts that wonderful smoky char, you can achieve delicious results indoors. You can pan-sear the chicken first to get a nice crust, then finish it in the oven, brushing with the sauce towards the end. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken and baste it with the sauce. The flavor profile will still be fantastic!

How do I prevent the peaches from becoming mushy on the grill?

To prevent the peaches from getting too soft, make sure they are slightly firm when you select them. Cut them into thick wedges or slices, about 1-inch thick. Grilling them over medium-high heat for just a few minutes per side until they have nice grill marks but still hold their shape is key. Don’t overcrowd the grill, giving them enough space to cook evenly.
