Necessity is the mother of invention. I have a collection of blended whisky in the house that my husband refuses to drink, single malt snob that he is. He claimed the stuff was only good for paint thinner or rust remover. Not so. With a little help from Toolie who sent me some maple syrup from Canada, I invented a chicken dish that made everyone happy all around. Ingredients:
2 roasting chickens, cut into serving pieces |
salt and pepper |
sweet paprika |
1 cup scotch whisky |
1 cup maple syrup |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (or 200 degrees C).
2. Clean the chicken pieces and season them with the salt, pepper and paprika.
3. Place them skin side down in a roasting pan.
4. Mix the whisky and maple syrup.
5. Pour over the chicken.
6. At this point you can marinate the chicken overnight, but this is an optional step.
7. Place the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes, uncovered.
8. After 20 minutes, turn the pieces over, and roast for another 20 minutes.
9. Just a warning, when you open the oven door halfway through, be prepared to get tipsy on the fumes.
10. Enjoy!
