For a budget-friendly all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, Golden Corral definitely delivers with a wide selection of family favorites. But although they offer a delicious variety of menu items, from dinner classics such as pot roast and meatloaf to Asian-inspired dishes such as Mandarin chicken and fried rice, it’s their bourbon street chicken I always beeline for.

A delicious marriage of sweet and savory, it’s absolutely yummy with steamed rice!

While the bourbon chicken is worth a trip to the restaurant, I wanted to replicate the same delectable experience at home. I’ve tried a few recipes online which were great copycat versions on their own but on one of our many visits to the restaurant, I pulled my face off my plate long enough to look around and saw this on their wall.

The ingredients and the instructions right before my eyes! I was so excited, I wasted no time ordering this brown sugar bourbon seasoning (this is an affiliate link) on Amazon! A big old 13.5 ounces to have on hand anytime bourbon street chicken cravings hit!

I used Kikkoman teriyaki sauce which is available at most major supermarkets to simplify things a bit but you can easily make your own by combining equal parts of dark soy sauce, sake, mirin, and honey. As commercial teriyaki marinade is thinner in consistency than homemade, I like to heat up the final glaze with a bit of cornstarch so it’s thick enough to coat the chicken pieces with a beautiful sheen.

8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, chicken thigh meat, cut into thin strips
  • 3 teaspoons brown sugar bourbon seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  • Rinse chicken, pat dry and place in a wide pan.
  •  In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the teriyaki sauce and 2 teaspoons of the bourbon seasoning. Whisk together until bourbon seasoning is dissolved.
  • Pour over chicken and stir to evenly distribute marinade and fully coat chicken. Cover pan with film and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator overnight. Drain the chicken well.
  • On a hot stove top grill or wide thick bottomed skillet over medium heat, add chicken in a single layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of bourbon seasoning.
  • Cook, stirring regularly until lightly browned and thermometer inserted into meat reads 165 F. 
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and honey in a saucepan. Stir until well-blended. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch slurry, stirring well to prevent lumps. Cook, stirring regularly,  for about 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and heated through. 
  • Transfer cooked chicken into a serving platter. Top with hot teriyaki glaze just before serving. Serve hot.

    For those that say the recipe is too salty, try using a teriyaki glaze type sauce in place of kikkoman type. These are sweeter and have less salt. I used this and the recipe was good. Not quite the same as Golden Corral but in my opinion it was better

    I was so excited about this recipe after seeing the photos at the top of the page. It looks exactly like my favorite dish at Golden Corral! When I got ready to cook the chicken I noticed the cooking video just about the recipe that you posted, and that the finish product looked nothing like your photos at the top of the page or what is sold at GC. I was already cooking it though so I was hopeful it would still taste like it. Nope. It was so incredibly salty and just tasted like a slightly doctored version of regular teriyaki chicken. It tasted nothing like the bourbon chicken from Golden Corral, even if the salt level was decreased. I’m very frustrated that I wasted money not only on the chicken that was too salty to eat, but on a seasoning blend that we won’t even have a use for now. So disappointing. I don’t know what GC you eat at, but truly, this is nothing like the “real thing”.
    🙁

      Hello Slaw,

      I am so sorry the recipe didn’t meet your expectations. We love this dish at home and I am not really sure what went wrong on your end.

      If you scroll through the post, you’ll see a photo I took of a board displayed at Golden Corral. It has the same ingredients and instructions as my recipe as I based mine on that. The only reason the video doesn’t look like my photos is that I cooked them longer until almost caramelized for my pictures.
