Gentle Whiskey Chicken with a Hint of Sweetness

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Gently heat up your grill to high and giving the grates a light oiling to keep the chicken from sticking. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then cook them on the grill for about 7 minutes on each side. You want the outside a little charred and the inside fully cooked—check that it reaches 165°F if you have a meat thermometer. Once done, let the chicken cool enough to handle, then slice it into strips and pop them into a large bowl.

Step 2

Mix the pineapple juice, bourbon, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir everything until the sugar dissolves, then let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce thickens up nicely. While that’s going, melt some butter in a small pan over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms until they’re soft and golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Finally, stir the mushrooms into the sauce, pour it all over the chicken strips, and toss everything together so the chicken is nicely coated. Enjoy!
