Ingredients:
Preparing the Chicken and Marinade
The first step to achieving incredibly flavorful chicken is to get it prepped and ready to soak up all those delicious tastes. I like to start by patting my chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a better sear when they hit the grill. If you’re using skin-on thighs, this also helps to crisp up the skin beautifully. In a medium bowl, we’re going to create our flavor-packed marinade. Combine the barbeque sauce, bourbon extract extract, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a good stir until it’s well combined. Now, add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Make sure each piece is thoroughly coated. For the best results, cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the deeper the flavor will penetrate the chicken.
Grilling the Peaches
While the chicken is marinating, let’s get those peaches ready for the grill. Grilling peaches brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a wonderful smoky char. Take your quartered peaches and lightly brush them with a little bit of olive oil, just enough to prevent sticking. You can also sprinkle them with the 1 tsp of sugar, which will help them caramelize beautifully on the grill. Place the peach quarters cut-side down onto a medium-hot grill. You’ll want to grill them for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened but still hold their shape. Once grilled, remove them from the heat and set them aside. We’ll be using these later.
Grilling the Chicken
Now it’s time for the main event – grilling the chicken! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. It’s a good idea to lightly oil your grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken thighs directly onto the hot grill. We’re aiming for about 5-7 minutes per side for boneless thighs, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the chicken is cooked through and has lovely grill marks. During the last few minutes of grilling, you can brush the chicken with a little extra barbeque sauce, if desired, for an extra layer of glaze. Be careful not to burn the sauce, as the sugars can caramelize quickly.
Creating the Peach Bourbon Extract Glaze
While the chicken is resting, we’re going to create a quick and delicious glaze to tie everything together. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced, peeled peach with the remaining marinade from the chicken (or a fresh mix of 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and 1 tbsp bourbon extract extract if you used all your marinade on the chicken). Bring this mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and break down slightly, and the sauce thickens into a beautiful glaze. You can gently mash some of the peach pieces with the back of a spoon to help thicken it further. This quick glaze is bursting with peach and bourbon extract extract flavors and is the perfect topping for our grilled chicken.
Assembling and Serving
Once the chicken is cooked and has had a few minutes to rest (this is crucial for juicy chicken!), it’s time to plate this masterpiece. Arrange the grilled chicken thighs on a serving platter. Spoon the warm peach bourbon extract glaze generously over the chicken. Then, artfully arrange the grilled peach quarters around the chicken. The vibrant colors and enticing aroma will make your mouth water! This dish is fantastic served with your favorite sides, such as a fresh green salad, corn on the cob, or some grilled vegetables. The combination of the tender, smoky chicken, the sweet and tangy glaze, and the soft, caramelized peaches creates a truly unforgettable meal. Enjoy every single bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make the bourbon extract extract peach BBQ sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld even further, making it even more delicious when you’re ready to grill.
What if I don’t have a grill? Can I still make this?
Yes, you can! While grilling imparts a wonderful smoky flavor, you can achieve a similar result by pan-searing the chicken thighs in a hot skillet and then finishing them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). For the peaches, you can grill them in a grill pan on your stovetop or even broil them briefly until tender and slightly caramelized.
Is the bourbon extract extract essential?
The bourbon extract extract is what gives this Grilled Bourbon Extract Extract Peach BBQ Chicken its unique depth of flavor, adding a warm, slightly sweet, and complex note that complements the peach and BBQ sauce perfectly. While you could technically omit it, it would significantly alter the intended taste profile of the dish. You can find bourbon extract extract in most specialty baking aisles or online.
