Maple Bourbon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a golden brown color, 5 to 7 minutes. Butter will foam and then settle down.
• Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in crushed red pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in maple syrup and lemon juice until combined.

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan breast-side down and sear until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the chicken in searing, in a small dish whisk together the stock, syrup, and bourbon. Add the bourbon mixture to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency before the chicken has cooked through, add a few splashes of stock to the skillet and continue cooking.)
• To serve, remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Spoon the sticky sauce over the chicken and enjoy warm.

Steps:

• Bring maple syrup and softened butter to a boil in medium saucepan.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey or extract.
• Serve warm over crepes or pancakes.

Steps:

• In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together all ingredients.
• Bring to simmer, lower heat to just maintain gentle simmer.
• Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
• Cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
