Whiskey Thighs

Total Time: 25 hrs Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (remove all visible fat)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot
• 1 green onion, and green parts, minced
• 1/2 cup whiskey (rye, bourbon, whatever you like)
• 2 tablespoons wine

Recipe

• 1 in a glass bowl, combine all marinade ingredients.
• 2 add chicken thighs to marinade, turning to make sure all meat comes into contact with marinade.
• 3 cover tightly and refrigerate for several hours; overnight is fine; turn chicken pieces occasionally.
• 4 preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
• 5 place chicken in an oblong casserole dish; drizzle half the marinade over thighs (you can use more than half, if you want); discard the remaining marinade.
• 6 bake thighs for one hour, basting frequently.
• 7 thighs can also be grilled; use the marinade for basting but there is a danger, so you must bring the marinade to a boil and then let it boil for a full 5 minutes; it can then be used to baste the thighs on the grill.
