Notes
- If you are concerned about the whiskey, just leave it off and add a touch of water or broth instead.
- Browning the onions, peppers and ginger, gives those more flavor in the final dish.
- If you want to grill this dish, simply heat all of the basic ingredients together and then use that as a marinade. Marinate the chicken for 4-6 hours and then grill. Do not use the leftover liquid to baste on the grill though.
