Episodes » Basil Hayden's Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders with Honey Bourbon CreamLast month we were extremely lucky to have Basil Hayden's Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey sponsor our One Year Anniversary party in Brooklyn. We were even LUCKIER to have a little extra bottle of Basil Hayden's to keep for ourselves!
I like a nice strong cocktail as much as the next girl, but because I've always got food on the brain, I chose to use my half of the bottle for cooking instead of drinking. What you'll see below is the result of a lot of expirimentation annnnd a few singed eyebrows!
