Publix Bourbon-Inspired Marinated Chicken Thighs
What it is
These are boneless, skinless chicken thighs that have been pre-marinated in a savory bourbon-inspired sauce. The marinade typically includes ingredients that create a sweet and slightly smoky flavor profile, reminiscent of classic bourbon glazes. The chicken is ready to cook straight from the package, saving preparation time in the kitchen. The thighs are known for their tender texture and rich flavor, making them a versatile choice for many meals.
How people cook with it
This convenient marinated chicken is perfect for quick weeknight dinners or when you want a flavorful meal with minimal effort.
- Grilling for a smoky char
- Pan-searing for a quick meal
- Baking for easy preparation
- Adding to stir-fries
To cook, simply remove the chicken from its packaging. You can grill the thighs over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Pan-searing in a skillet with a little oil over medium-high heat also works well, taking about 5-7 minutes per side. For baking, place the thighs on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain chicken thighs, these are pre-marinated, infusing them with a distinct bourbon-inspired flavor before cooking. This eliminates the need for separate marinating time and adds a complex taste profile that plain chicken would not have on its own.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the marinated chicken thighs until ready to use. If not cooking within a few days, it can be frozen for longer storage. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking. Once opened, consume within 2-3 days.
