INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Della Basmati rice, cooked as directed
  • 1 lb. skin on, bone in chicken drumsticks (could also do chicken thighs)
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup oil
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced
  • Garnish: chopped green onions
  • Optional Side: steamed asparagus or broccoli

Step 1

  • For the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, oil, vinegar, bourbon, and brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk until combined. Place the chicken in a casserole dish and pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the chopped garlic and ginger over the chicken. Cover and marinate overnight. (This is ideal but if you don’t have the time marinating for at least an hour also works)

Step 2

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the chicken and bake directly in the marinade for 45 minutes. Turning and basting the chicken with the sauce every 15 min. Cook the rice according to package directions.

Step 3

  • Once the chicken is done, turn the oven temperature to broil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to get a golden brown color. Remove and serve. I like to pour the sauce into a measuring cup with a pour spout so you can add extra once you serve it over the rice.

Step 4

  • Top with scallions, and serve with steamed asparagus or broccoli. Enjoy!
