BOURBON HAMBURGER RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the Sauce ingredients in the Instant Pot.
• Nestle the chicken thighs in the sauce in one layer, turning once to coat.
• Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Remove chicken and dice.
• Meanwhile, mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl, then add it to the sauce and cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.
• Return chicken to pot and warm though. Serve over noodles or rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet, and place in the oven for 3 minutes. For even toasting, turn the tray, front to back. Toss the nuts with a metal spatula and bake for another 3 minutes. You'll know they're done when they give off their fragrant aroma, and be sure to check them so they don't become overbaked or charred.
• In a food processor, chop the vanilla wafers into crumbs. Add the pecans and process just until they are finely chopped. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumb-pecan mixture, 1/4 cup of the cocoa, and 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar. Add the corn syrup and bourbon. Mix thoroughly. Sift the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar onto a large plate. Form the crumb mixture into 3/4-inch balls and roll them through the cocoa-sugar to coat. Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. If necessary, touch them up with a light dusting of the remaining confectioners' sugar.
