\n4 chicken breasts (boneless or bone-in. doesn't matter)<\/p>\n
And because Col Tigh is a little exotic, and a lot angry, I added the following:<\/p>\n
A pinch of ground cumin
\nA pinch of ground cinnamon
\nA pinch of cayenne pepper\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Really, just a pinch of each. 1\/4 teaspoon, tops.<\/p>\n
Because I didn't have any Canadian whiskey handy, I used Jim Beam. But authentic Col. Tigh chicken should always <\/em>use Canadian whiskey; the Canadian whiskey and the spices are what separates it from all other maple\/whiskey chicken dishes. Also I used real Canadian maple syrup. I have no idea what you'd get if you used Aunt Jemima; cancer, probably.<\/p>\nMix the marinade ingredients, pour em in a big bowl. Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours (though overnight would be best). <\/p>\n
Cooking the chicken is a little tricky. The original recipe says this is BBQ chicken; but if you just throw it on the grill and walk away, that sugar-filled marinade will burn up in no time at all, leaving you with poulet de carbone<\/em>. And that's not good eats. So, I did the cooking in two stages. First, I preheated the oven to 400deg. Then I took out my handy grill-pan and grilled the chicken just enough to get some decent grill marks - trying hard to keep them from getting too black. After that, into a baking dish with a small splash of the marinade on top of the chicken, and into the oven for 20 minutes (these were boneless breasts - will take longer for bone-in).<\/p>\nIt was delicious - a touch of sweetness, a little spice, a tiny bit of heat. Somehow it came out tasting a little like coconut, of all things. Yum.<\/p>\n
The original recipe says you can do this with pork, too. Maybe I'll try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
General Tso has his delicious chicken, and Colonel Sanders has his. I thought Colonel Tigh should have his own delicious chicken, too. Given that he's a drunk, and that the actor who plays him is Canadian, I figured the two main non-chicken ingredients should be alcohol, probably Canadian whiskey, and maple syrup.
