Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 chicken thighs bone in
3 Tbsp olive oil
4 clove garlic minced
1 large shallot chopped
1/2 c bourbon whiskey
1 c chili sauce
1/2 c honey
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cajun seasoning
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp liquid smoke
1 stick cold butter cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Place olive oil in large skillet. Season chicken with salt and place in olive oil and sear to get the skin brown and crispy. Remove chicken and transfer to a baking pan with a rack or set aside to cook on grill.
  • 2. In the same skillet you cooked the chicken deglaze with 1/4 cup Bourbon Whiskey scraping up bits. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened.
  • 3. Mix together the remaining ingredients except butter with the other 1/4 cup Bourbon. Add to pan and cook until thickened a bit.
  • 4. Slowly add the butter one pat at a time whisking constantly and let each pat melt before adding another. Keep whisking to incorporate all the butter.
  • 5. Brush the chicken with the sauce and place in preheated 400 degree oven. Continue to baste with sauce turning the chicken until done about 20 minutes.
  • 6. Tip: This recipe is best when the chicken is cooked on a rack or grill because of the richness of the sauce. It tends to be too oily if the chicken sets in its own juices while it bakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly! The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of brown sugar next time. Overall, a great recipe that I'll definitely be making again.
