- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (remove all visible fat)
-
Marinade
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot
- 1 green onion, white and green parts, minced
- 1⁄2 cup whiskey (rye, bourbon, whatever you like)
- 2 tablespoons white wine
directions
- In a glass bowl, combine all marinade ingredients.
- Add chicken thighs to marinade, turning to make sure all meat comes into contact with marinade.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for several hours; overnight is fine; turn chicken pieces occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 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.
- Bake thighs for one hour, basting frequently.
- 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.

These were absolutely incredible. Used boneless chix breasts and made a mushroom gravy out of the marinade. First put the whole thing into the crockpot for 2.5 hours, then cooked-covered-on stovetop for 1/2 hour. Thickened marinade w/ flour & added a few handfuls of mushroom chunks. My husband now thinks I'm some sort of kitchen genius. Served with Bird's garlic mashed potatoes for a delicious meal. Thanks! :)
