Whiskey Chicken

I found this to be pretty tasty, but it was missing some depth of flavor….maybe a bit of ground ginger or crushed red pepper?. The pineapple juice was a nice touch. The description says it’s spicy, but there is nothing spicy in the ingredients. This didn’t thicken up really well, so I ended up having to add a bit of cornstarch slurry at the end, which did the trick. The color was also quite pale. Served over rice, this made for a quick weekday meal. Makes 2 huge portions.

I read many of the comments before making this dish. I used 6oz. of pineapple juice and 4 tablespoons of whiskey. I also substituted Splenda for the brown sugar and threw in mushrooms and red & yellow peppers. Instead of serving it over rice, I steamed fresh green beans and put it over those. This is a great recipe and I will definitely use it again!

I had to sub out a few ingredients. Instead of pineapple juice, which I didn’t have on hand, I used apple cider. Also, had to use Jack Daniels Rye cause I was all out of bourbon. Nevertheless it came out alright.
