Peach-Whiskey Barbeque Chicken

Perfect Pairing – Apple Potato Mash
IMG_8705-1

If you are not familiar with the Pioneer Woman, you should check out her blog.  She writes about cooking, photography, home schooling, life on her ranch, her family, pets, and everything in between.  Her photos are fantastic and she has a fun writing style.  I have been a fan for years.  I am thrilled to see her doing so well. 
I have made a few of the Pioneer Woman’s recipes and they are always delicious.  I usually adapt them a bit to keep them on the healthy side, because she has a love of cream and butter.  This recipe was no different.  I decreased the amount of oil and butter and chose to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs rather than skin-on thighs to save on fat and calories.  This Peach-Whiskey Barbeque Chicken has great flavor and zing.  I used Cookie’s BBQ sauce and it was perfect in the sauce.  It was really simple to pull together and would be great to serve a crowd.
The Perfect Pairing for this recipe is the Apple Potato Mash recipe I featured here.  There is so much great sauce on the chicken that you need something to soak it up.

Homemade Barbeque Sauce

Perfect Pairing: Empty ketchup bottles
IMG_7211-1

I am a little spoiled when it comes to a couple food items.  Growing up my mom always made homemade applesauce and homemade barbeque sauce, and the store-bought equivalents just do not compare!  My mom’s BBQ sauce is the perfect mixture of spicy, sweet and tang.  It is a great sauce for grilled chicken, pork or even as a dip for grilled cheese.  I have also used it on pizza crust instead of pizza sauce.  Top the pizza with shredded pork or chicken, green onions and cheddar cheese.  Tasty stuff.  We usually double the recipe since it takes no added effort and it keeps well in the refrigerator.

The Perfect Pairing for this sauce is the ketchup bottle you just emptied to make the sauce.  You don’t even have to rinse it out, just use a funnel and add your special sauce right into the bottle.  It is the perfect container for homemade sauce!  You can see we added a nice fancy label to eliminate any confusion when reaching into the fridge.
