Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup whiskey (your choice)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the whiskey, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be your marinade.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- In a saucepan, pour the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the thickened whiskey sauce over the chicken and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve your sweet whiskey chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or roasted vegetables.
