Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup whiskey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the whiskey, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary to create the marinade.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.

Step 3

Refrigerate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor absorption.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, basting with the pan juices halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Tipsy Chicken with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful whiskey glaze.
