Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, bourbon, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mash the blackberries slightly with a fork to release their juices and mix well.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Pour the blackberry bourbon sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
