Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs, boneless, skin on or off
- 3 pieces peaches, cored and quartered
- 1 piece peach, skin off, cored, diced
Seasoning and Sauces
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup barbeque sauce
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Core and quarter three peaches, and dice one additional peach after removing the skin. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce, bourbon, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken thighs. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Turn the chicken and pour the barbecue sauce mixture over them, making sure to coat each piece. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and glazed.
- Add the quartered peaches to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to soften and caramelize.
- Once cooked, remove from heat, transfer the chicken and peaches to a cutting board, and let rest for a few minutes before slicing the chicken.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, and assemble tacos with sliced chicken, caramelized peaches, and desired toppings.
Notes
Serve with coleslaw or corn salad for a refreshing side. Leftovers can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
