Peach Whisky Barbecue Chicken Recipe Recipe 435

Steps:

• For the peach barbecue sauce: Combine the peaches, peach nectar, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and adobo sauce in a deep saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded. Puree with an immersion blender and let cool.
• For the BBQ chicken: Prepare a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat.
• Rub the chicken legs with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken over indirect heat, turning occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Baste the chicken periodically using a basting brush soaked in peach brandy; do not pour brandy directly over the grill. Ten to 15 minutes before the chicken is done, brush it generously with peach barbecue sauce. Just before removing the chicken from grill, brush a final time with barbecue sauce.
• Let the chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Note: I used an electric pressure cooker, that has a browning cycle. If you don't own pressure cooker, you can brown the chicken on the stove and then bake this in a Dutch oven. I will provide both ways of preparing this. Pat the chicken dry, and season with salt & pepper. For a pressure cooker: Heat oil and butter, using the brown cycle (for an electric pressure cooker) or on medium high on the stove. Likewise, you can make this in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs, four at a time, in the pot, skin side down. Brown both sides, then remove to a plate and repeat until all chicken is browned. Remove to a plate and set aside. Pour off half the grease, then return pan to stove. Add onions to pan and stir, cooking for 2 minutes. Pour whiskey into the pot, being very careful if you're using an open flame. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan, allowing whiskey to reduce for a minute or two. Pour in barbecue sauce, peach preserves, peaches (if using) water, and Worcestershire sauce. Throw in garlic cloves. Stir until combined, then return chicken to the pot, skin side up. For a pressure cooker: Lock the lid on, and set the pressure to HIGH for 10 minutes. Do a quick release, carefully removing the lid away from you. For the oven method: Cover and put pot in oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove from oven at 300°F. Serve pieces of chicken over a big pile of smashed potatoes. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the onions to the skillet and stir and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the whisky, taking care if you are cooking over an open flame. Cook for 3 minutes or so, allowing the whisky to cook and reduce.
• Grab your favorite bottled barbecue sauce and pour it into the pan. Add the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup water to the sauce, then whisk to combine. Add the chicken back to the pan. Then throw in the peaches.
• Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminium foil, and then roast in the oven until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone¿ the sauce is beautiful and rich¿ and the peaches are soft (about 1 1/2 hours). That's how you know it's done!
• Serve the chicken over a big mound of mashed potatoes, spooning the sauce over the whole thing. Sprinkle with green onions and parsley, then watch your loved ones gobble it up.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and caramelize, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Deglaze with the cider vinegar and reduce by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar and paprika, then bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates, then grill the peaches, flipping once, until they get a nice dark char and are soft, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Place the cooled onion mixture and grilled peaches in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes; flip chicken and coat grilled side of chicken with the peach BBQ sauce. Allow chicken to cook for another 5 minutes, then flip again, coating with more peach BBQ sauce.
• Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, another 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Grill, flipping once, until nicely charred and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Arrange a few slices of grilled sweet potato on a plate, then top with some Tomato Cucumber Salad and lay a chicken breast on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with lime wedges.
• Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, avocado oil, ginger, garlic, the spices and lime juice in a large bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Toss well, then toss with the arugula.
