BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces, and remove any excess fat or skin.
• In a small bowl combine the ginger, pepper, soy sauce, whisky, water, garlic, vinegar and brown sugar. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan or skillet heat the oil on medium high heat.
• Add the chicken and cook until the juices have cooked off and the chicken starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir the chicken every 1-2 minutes so it doesn't burn and browns evenly.
• Add the bourbon mixture and stir well. Allow the liquid to come to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Don't rush this as you want the alcohol to cook off from the whiskey.
• Add in the cornstarch liquid and stir briskly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Either pull apart or cut chicken meat into bite size chunks.
• Mix all the marinade ingredients and pour over chicken pieces in a bowl.
• Cover and refrigerate (stirring often) for several hours (best overnight).
• Bake chicken at 350 for one hour in a single layer, basting every 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken.
• Scrape pan juices with all the brown bits into a frying pan.
• Heat, and add 2 Tbs. white wine.
• Stir and add chicken.
• Cook for 1 minute and serve.
