Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup whiskey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the whiskey, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary to create the marinade.
Season the chicken thighs with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor absorption.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, basting with the pan juices halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Tipsy Chicken with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful whiskey glaze.
