8 steps

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 teaspoons fireball whiskey (for the rub)
  • 1/2 cup your favorite barbecue rub
  • 1 ounce vegetable oil
  • 1/8 cup fireball whiskey (for the sauce)
  • 12 ounces barbecue sauce (KC Masterpiece or your favorite)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix the mustard, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce and 4 teaspoons of Fireball Whisky.
  3. 3
    Partially remove skin and fully coat chicken with 1/3 of the mixture and sprinkle on your rub. Put skin back on and coat with the rest of the mustard mixture and more rub.
  4. 4
    Heat oil in a 12 inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking.
  5. 5
    Nestle chicken in skillet, skin side down, and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking skin side down, occasionally rearranging chicken thighs and rotating pan to evenly distribute heat, until fat renders and skin is golden brown (about 12 minutes).
  6. 6
    Transfer chicken to baking sheet. Place in oven and cook 13 minutes. Flip chicken and continue cooking until skin crisps and meat is cooked through (about 5 minutes longer).
  7. 7
    Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
  8. 8
    While chicken is baking, in a separate pan, mix BBQ sauce and 1/8 cup Fireball Whisky on low heat until sauce is well mixed and warm. Use this as a dipping sauce or coat chicken with sauce.
