Wild Turkey Chicken
Does your dinner ritual include a cocktail?
Perhaps you and your partner sip a rumtini -- rum, blue Curacao and
Whatever your preference, you can add lively flavors to your dinner if you add a dash of spirits to the pot as well as to your cocktail glass.
The more flavor there is in the alcohol, the more flavorful your dish. Culinary choices include rum, brandy, bourbon, gin and Scotch. Cooking smoothes the sharp taste of liquor, imbuing the food with mellow smoky and herbal flavors. (Keep in mind that some but not all of the alcohol will cook off.).
When adding liquor to food, use a small amount, about a tablespoon or two. The effect shouldn't be a second round of drinks in your entree.
In the following roast chicken dish, bourbon pairs with maple syrup and butter for a rich basting sauce. Although the ingredient list calls for the Wild Turkey brand -- for the sake of a good recipe title -- use whatever bourbon you have on hand.
With such tasty gravy, potatoes are the must-have accompaniment. Roast the combination of potatoes, garlic and shallots at the same time the chicken is cooking.
