Bourbon Chicken

[mos]

Bourbon Chicken

1 1/2 lbs chicken thigh meat

2 tbs olive oil

1/4 cup light soy sauce

2 tbs red wine vinegar

2 tbs good bourbon whiskey

2 tbs brown sugar, or to taste

1 green onion, cut into thirds

2 slices ginger

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Place the chicken thighs in a shallow 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Turn the thighs occasionally to make sure they are entirely coated in the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Bake the chicken, uncovered, with the marinade, for 45 min to 1 hour, basting occasionally, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced in the thickest part of the thigh, or a meat thermometer reads at least 170° in the same part of the thigh. Serve hot.  Serves 4
