Peach Whiskey BBQ Chicken

So I have been slacking on this whole blogging thing. It's not like I'm not cooking, or taking the pictures, I'm just being lazy about grabbing the ol' computer.

So I will make it up with a damn good recipe. I found this one on the adorable Pioneer Woman and made a few changes. I like to do that with recipes. They're a good start and then I just switch a few things and see what happens.

Here's what you'll need
8 chicken thighs (marvel at how cheap they are compared to chicken breasts!)
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 an onion chopped
6 oz+ whiskey
1 jar peach jam
2 cloves garlic peeled
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbs vinegar
2 Tbs brown sugar
2 Tbs worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves minced (for the sauce)
1 Tbs paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like it hot, some do)

Now poor your olive oil in a big dutch oven like pot. Melt your butter in there. Go with medium-low heat and keep an eye on it. Don't burn your butter.

 Start your sauce. Combine ketchup, vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, paprika, cumin, and cayenne and simmer that goodness.

 Once your butter is melted, take four thighs at a time, put them skin side down and turn up your heat to medium. Cook them until they are golden brown.

Flip and cook that side golden too.

 It helps to wiggle them occasionally with tongs so they don't stick. This stage crisps up the chicken. You don't want to lose the skin and thus the crispness.

 Cook the other four thighs the same way. Take the chicken out and set aside on a plate.
Now add your onion. If the amount of grease creeps you out, dump half of it. But don't dump it down your drain-it will clog it, kind of like it does your arteries... eventually. I put a couple paper towels in a cup, pour the grease in there, and let the paper towels absorb. Then I throw the paper towels away.
Preheat your oven to 300.

 Once your onion is cooked, add your jam, garlic cloves and whiskey. Be very careful if you have a gas stove and are cooking on an open flame. You get it, flame + alcohol = bad.
Then add your chicken. Cover and put in your oven for 1.5 hours.
I slacked off in picture taking here. But my ladies were over and we were hungry! No time!
I also grilled some corn, tasty awesome :)
