WHISKEY CHICKEN
Drukāt/PrintSastāvdaļas
1/2 cup whiskey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce*
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves (crushed or finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp ginger (fresh, finely grated/chopped)
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 kg chicken fillet
- Olive oil (for cooking)
Pagatavošana
- Place all the ingredients, except chicken and olive oil, in a bowl and mix. Stir everything well and once the sugar dissolves, you have a marinade for the meat;
- Wash chicken fillet under cold water and then cut it into smaller cubes, slices;
- Add chicken into the marinade (make sure that all of it is coated with marinade) and cover bowl with a plastic wrap;
- Refrigerate the the chicken into the marinade for at least couple of hours (best if you can leave it overnight) – longer it stays into the marinade, more flavorful it is;
- Cook chicken in a preheated pan with an olive oil till it is no longer raw/pink;
- Add a little marinade and continue to cook until the meat is completely cooked and the marinade has turned into a slightly thicker sauce (at that point chicken should look caramelized brown).
