There is this hole in the wall street food place that serves the most delicious bourbon chicken! so i attempted to make it at home, with all the fixin's mac and cheese (patti labelle's there is no other!) and sauteed cabbage yum! all in all it came out pretty well, but next time i would boil the bourbon before adding it to the marinade as the alcohol imparted a bitter flavor (the leftovers also made me tipsy!)
I don't really use recipes, or write them down for that matter so here is a basic version of what i threw together
1/4 c bourbon
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs brown sugar (husband sez put more in next time)
1 clove garlic smooshed flat
this was added to 6 chicken thighs and marinated overnight.
next day remove chicken from marinade (marinade may be saved to turn into a glaze, just make sure you boil the heck out of it first! don't cross contaminate cooked chicken with raw chicken marinade!) pat dry grill or bake until done...
