Peach Whisky Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Pat chicken wings dry. Using a sharp knife, cut through the 2 wing joints; discard wing tips. Season wings with salt and pepper. Place in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker., Pulse peaches with syrup in a food processor until pureed. Add the next 5 ingredients; pulse to combine. Pour over wings; toss to coat. Cook, covered, on low until chicken is tender, 4-6 hours. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high until sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Preheat broiler. Remove wings to a 15x10x1-in. pan; arrange in a single layer. Broil wings 3-4 in. from heat until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Brush with sauce before serving. Serve with remaining sauce and, if desired, chives.

Steps:

• Saute chicken in a large skillet over medium high heat until cooked through (no longer pink).
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic powder, pineapple juice, whiskey, pepper and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and pour over chicken. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until sauce is thickened to taste.

Steps:

• Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with garlic, chilies, sweet potatoes and onions.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
• Remove chicken, sweet potatoes and onions from slow cooker, using slotted spoon; place on serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
• Mix water, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour juices from slow cooker into 2-quart saucepan. Stir preserves and cornstarch mixture into juices. Heat to boiling; boil and stir about 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in pea pods. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until pea pods are tender. Serve sauce over chicken and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken breast halves with salt and black pepper.
• Stir peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and mustard in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Reserve about 1/2 cup peach sauce.
• Place chicken on preheated grill; cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip chicken. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Brush both sides of the chicken with peach sauce. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Arrange peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 2 minutes, flip, and brush with reserved 1/2 cup peach sauce. Continue to grill until peaches are tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.

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.
