Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Baste with Marinade

    During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the leftover marinade for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
