Whiskey-Peach-Barbecue Chicken

It's been awhile since I've done one of these posts but tonight I got a chance to try a new recipe.
I made Whiskey Peach BBQ Chicken.  I've always liked cooking with alcohol, it adds great flavor and aroma.
To start with you add 2 Tbs of oil and 2 Tbs of butter in a large pot on med-high heat.


Next drop in 4-5 chicken thighs at a time skin side down and cook until brown. Then flip and brown the otherside.  Once both sides are browned set them aside on a plate and brown the rest of the chicken.


Once the chicken is done pour out about half the grease then throw in one diced yellow onion.
Cook the onion for a couple of minutes stirring it around in the pot.  Next pour in 1.5 cups of whiskey. Stir this around for a couple of minutes letting the whiskey reduce some. 
Next, add 12 oz of BBQ sauce, a can of Peach preserves, 2 Tbs of Worcestershire sauce, one cup of water and 3 peeled garlic cloves.


The Cast of Characters
Stir all those ingredients together, then add the chicken back in.

Cover and put the pot in the oven for 1.5 hours on 300.  The meat will literally fall off the bone when it's done.  
The final verdict was that it was good, I was hoping for alot more flavorful but it wasn't as strong as I'd hoped.  While it was good I think we decided it wasn't worth the cost of the Whiskey :).
Here's the source.  Until next time...
