Scale

- ½ cup smooth bourbon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a mixing bowl.

- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
