Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, peach preserves, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, steak seasoning, and liquid smoke. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve half of the sauce for later.
Place chicken on a sheet pan or broiling tray. Brush the chicken with sauce using a basting brush.
Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and baste with the reserved sauce.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat. Turn on the oven's broiler.
Broil chicken, basting and flipping every 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, approximately 10-15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the center.
