Cajun Bourbon Chicken
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
Well, I’m suppose to be on vacation but I wanted to stop and share a quick recipe.
My Cajun Bourbon Chicken is ready in less than 30 minutes and it’s beyond delicious.
After all the heavy food eaten over the holidays, this dish hits the spot!
It’s quick, easy, and tasty.
Oh, and really spicy!
Big Goo loves spicy food so I added extra Asian Sriracha sauce.
