Yield: Yields about 2/3 cup; enough for 1 chicken.

Brush this glaze on the chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Coat one side, cook for 5 minutes, flip, brush the other side, cook another 5 minutes, and flip once more to heat the glaze. You can use any classic barbecue sauce the same way.

Ingredients

2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
2 Tbs. bourbon
2 Tbs. light brown sugar
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 Tbs. soy sauce
Pinch cayenne

Agree with the previous viewer it does take 1/2 hour to reduce at least. But, my company thought it was worth the wait. I made some chicken legs with this sauce and some with the Chipotle lime sauce and all of the chicken with the Maple-Bourbon Glaze disappeared. I love the Chipotle lime sauce too! I did brine the chicken before putting the sauce on. Definitely will do this recipe again!

This is a tasty and easy to make. It's also good on salmon, but it takes about 1/2 hour got the sauce to reduce to a glaze.

I used this glaze for a Christmas ham and it was wonderful, everyone loved it. We had a 7 pound ham and there was plenty of glaze with some left over.
