Best 7 Bonnies Whiskey Barbecued Chicken Recipes

BONNIE'S ROASTED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. I use a large stainless steel pan with a shallow rim, big enough to hold all the ingredients in a single layer. Grease the pan with kitchen spray.
• 2. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice. Place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the zest, garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Pat thighs dry and add to the mixture in the bowl. Coat the chicken thighs with the mixture and place them skin UP in the center of the baking pan.
• 3. Add the vegetables to the bowl with your hands and toss the vegetables until they are coated. Place the vegetables around the chicken in the pan in a single layer.
• 4. Roast in the oven at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking process. Test the vegetables to see if they are done, if not, continue cooking. At this time, using tongs, flip the chicken thighs over to "baste" the top of the meat in the juices, and then flip it back over. (Sneaky way to baste.)
• 5. The meat and vegetables will be golden brown. It may take a few minutes less or a few minutes more, depending on how big the pieces of meat are, and how big you slice the vegetables. If you like them more brown, turn on the broiler for a few minutes, but watch them carefully.
• 6. Next time, after you have tried this dish, feel free to add anything else to it that you can't live without. Enjoy!

PEACH WHISKY BARBECUE CHICKEN RECIPE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Note: I used an electric pressure cooker, that has a browning cycle. If you don't own pressure cooker, you can brown the chicken on the stove and then bake this in a Dutch oven. I will provide both ways of preparing this. Pat the chicken dry, and season with salt & pepper. For a pressure cooker: Heat oil and butter, using the brown cycle (for an electric pressure cooker) or on medium high on the stove. Likewise, you can make this in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs, four at a time, in the pot, skin side down. Brown both sides, then remove to a plate and repeat until all chicken is browned. Remove to a plate and set aside. Pour off half the grease, then return pan to stove. Add onions to pan and stir, cooking for 2 minutes. Pour whiskey into the pot, being very careful if you're using an open flame. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan, allowing whiskey to reduce for a minute or two. Pour in barbecue sauce, peach preserves, peaches (if using) water, and Worcestershire sauce. Throw in garlic cloves. Stir until combined, then return chicken to the pot, skin side up. For a pressure cooker: Lock the lid on, and set the pressure to HIGH for 10 minutes. Do a quick release, carefully removing the lid away from you. For the oven method: Cover and put pot in oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove from oven at 300°F. Serve pieces of chicken over a big pile of smashed potatoes. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top.

BONNIE'S WHISKEY BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Brine: Take a one gallon pot of cold water, add 1/2 cup of kosher salt, stir until the salt has disolved. (Do not use iodized salt.) Submerge the chicken pieces in the brine water. Refrigerate. Brine for no more than 2 hours, then remove the chicken pieces, rinse them and put them in the refrigerator until it is time to cook the chicken. You can do the brining in the morning and the cooking in the evening if you wish. Discard the brine.
• Select a baking pan just large enough to hold all the chicken pieces, and line it with foil and spray it with Pam. Preheat the oven to 410 degrees. Place a flat pan on the bottom rack with about 1 inch of water. This pan will be below your chicken which is on the middle rack in the oven.
• Season the brined chicken pieces with a sprinkle of pepper and garlic powder on both sides and dredge in the flour. Pre-heat a large non-stick skillet with some olive oil and fry the chicken until golden brown. As each piece browns, place it in the foil-lined baking pan.
• Empty the entire bottle of barbecue sauce in a small mixing bowl. Add the whiskey and brown sugar and mix well. Spoon the sauce with a large tablespoon over the chicken until all pieces are covered.
• Bake the chicken in the 410 degree oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and turn the pieces over and spoon sauce over the chicken and return to the oven and bake 15 minutes more. Let chicken rest 5 minutes in the oven before you serve it.
• Cook's Tip: Every oven is different. So watch the chicken closely the first time you make it. It is a very forgiving recipe and you can tweak this dish to your individual taste very easily. I would suggest you make it as written the first time, then tweak away if you feel the need. The pre-frying technique seals in the juices and makes the sauce stick to the skinless chicken. The pan of water, and the brining is a must do if you want, tender, juicy chicken. Enjoy!

PEACH WHISKY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the onions to the skillet and stir and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the whisky, taking care if you are cooking over an open flame. Cook for 3 minutes or so, allowing the whisky to cook and reduce.
• Grab your favorite bottled barbecue sauce and pour it into the pan. Add the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup water to the sauce, then whisk to combine. Add the chicken back to the pan. Then throw in the peaches.
• Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminium foil, and then roast in the oven until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone¿ the sauce is beautiful and rich¿ and the peaches are soft (about 1 1/2 hours). That's how you know it's done!
• Serve the chicken over a big mound of mashed potatoes, spooning the sauce over the whole thing. Sprinkle with green onions and parsley, then watch your loved ones gobble it up.
