CAJUN BOURBON CHICKEN





1 cup bourbon


1 cup soy sauce


1/2 cup brown sugar


1 tsp paprika


pinch hot red pepper flakes


1 tablespoon molasses


3 cloves garlic, smashed


2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger


1 1/2 teaspoons each onion and garlic powder


6 each chicken thighs and drumsticks


salt and pepper, to taste








Combine all ingredients (except chicken) for marinade (may be processed in a blender). Set aside 1/2 cup of this marinade in a clean jar (do not use to marinate chicken - this portion will be used for basting the chicken during the grilling). Keep refrigerated.


Put marinade into a ziploc bag with chicken pieces and distribute evenly. Marinate chicken for 6-12 hours in refrigerator, turning occasionally.





Remove chicken from marinade and drain. Allow to sit at room temperature while grill heats up. Grill over medium high heat (grill open) for 5 minutes, then close grill and reduce heat; continue cooking over low heat, for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is done (juices will run clear when pierced with a fork). Baste with fresh marinade every few minutes, turning chicken to cook both sides evenly.





Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
