The alcohol in the bourbon about 40% of the total liquid evaporates leaving a thick syrupy sauce.

I don't know why it's called that; maybe it's named after a place called Bourbon, just like Buffalo Wings are named after Buffalo, NY.

Answer 4

The sauce contains bourbon. She was probably just being sarcastic when she said there wasn't. They wouldn't call it bourbon chicken if there wasn't any bourbon in it! lol good luck with your question!

Answer 5

I like bourbon chicken from a Chinese place at our local mall, too (but I know we don't live in the same city). I guess it doesn't have bourbon in it, just like grasshopper pie doesn't have grasshoppers in it! Just wanted to tell you that - and thanks for asking the question, I'm putting it on my watchlist to peek at the recipes.
