š” Pro Tips
To make the bourbon glaze, mix together 2 tablespoons of bourbon, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1 tablespoon of chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. To prevent the sweet potatoes from burning, keep an eye on them and stir occasionally. Serve immediately.
