If you, like most people, hear the term “bourbon chicken” and have no idea what it is, let me call it by its more common name: toothpick chicken. Yes, the suspiciously delicious chicken shelled out at mall food courts on toothpicks is most likely bourbon chicken. Popular at American Chinese or Cajun-style Chinese restaurants, the sticky-sweet chicken is the utter definition of delicious, luring weary shoppers into food courts to find refuge from the bubblegum pink sweatpants and ripped denim.
