  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, peach preserves, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, steak seasoning, and liquid smoke flavoring in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve half the sauce for later use.
  • Place chicken on a sheet pan or broiling tray and brush sauce onto the chicken with a basting brush.
