Bourbon Chicken
Bourbon Chicken is a tribute to the Castleton Mall food court where I would frequently dine at as a teenager. If I had no money I would walk by and grab the Bourbon Chicken samples a worker would always be handing out. This is definitely a step-up from the mall favorite, but the flavors and textures take me right back.
