This dish has 4 parts: Chicken; Rice; Bourbon Sauce; Red Pepper Flakes

NOTE: The chicken chunks can be cooked in the disposable pans, but cook best if they are separated and spread out on a greased or lined baking sheet. If baking from frozen, separate the chunks halfway through the baking process. 

PREPARE RICE:  STOVETOP: Combine 1 cup white rice, 1 ½ cups water, ¼ tsp salt (optional) in a saucepan.  Heat to boiling, stir once.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15-20 min until rice is tender.  

PREFERRED METHOD: FREEZER TO OVEN: Thaw sauce. Preheat oven to 375F. Spread chicken on lined baking pan - spreading it out allows the heat to better circulate around the chicken chunks. Bake chicken, uncovered, approximately 50-60 minutes until cooked through. While chicken is baking, prepare rice according to package instructions. In a skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add sauce, red pepper flakes (1/2 packet for medium, full packet for spicy) and baked chicken. Bring to a low boil and stir gently until sauce reaches your desired thickness. Serve over rice.
