To make a bourbon chicken dish like the ones found in malls imitating the alcoholic flavor without actual wine:

Imitation Wine: Instead of using real wine, you can make your own imitation wine using a combination of ingredients to mimic the flavor without added alcohol.

1. Fruit Juice: Use dark grape juice, apple juice, or cranberry juice as the base for the imitation wine.

2. Sweetener: Add a touch of brown sugar or honey to balance the tartness of the fruit juice and provide the sweetness found in wine.

3. Vinegar: A small amount of red or white vinegar can help provide a bit of acidity similar to wine.

4. Flavoring: Add a mixture of spices such as nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla to enhance the flavor and provide depth.

5. Red Food Coloring: This is optional but adds a touch of color similar to red wine.
