Hi, does anyone know if all bourbon is gluten free? I need it for a recipe
thanks

Yes, the distilling process is said to remove the gluten from the alcohol.

thanks very much

Betty, are you making bourbon chicken??? I am making this tonight! But I'm substituting apple juice for the bourbon. I've never made it before, but I read that the bourbon can give it a really "strong" taste, and that apple juice is a perfect sub- it's just milder. I thought I'd give that a try because I'm hoping the kids will give it a try.

no, but that sounds yummy...I found a recipe on the food network for sweet potato casserole and it needs bourbon

And here I came to this thread thinking you were offering me a glass.

sigh...

lol

I used to eat bourbon chicken in restaurants, but lately I skip it since most soy sauces have wheat. This is the recipe I'm trying out tonight. I hope it comes out good, because I've been craving it! (I use Great Value Soy Sauce, marked gluten-free, and I'm leaving out the red pepper- kiddoes.)

PS- Jess
