Frat-boy gourmet presents: Manhattan chicken

The idea came to me in a dream,combine Bourbon Chicken and Orange Chicken into a single dish in the model of the Manhattan cocktail; and then I spent about a month dicking around trying to get the sauce right. but here it is

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 3 oz soy sauce
• 2 tsp dried minced onion
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 dashes angostura bitters
• 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar (manliest of vinegars!)
  
• 2/3 cup orange marmalade
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sage
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

• combine soy sauce, bourbon, half of the orange juice, brown sugar, onions, bitters and garlic in a large baking dish
• place chicken in dish and cover for 4-12hrs (longer is better [that's what she said])
• preheat oven to 325 degrees (Celsius my backwards non-metric friends)
• uncover and place chicken in oven, baste every ten minutes or so
• after an hour place marmalde, vinegar, oil, sage, pepper, and the other half of the oj in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until smooth and thick (~2minutes).
• cover chicken in orange sauce leaving some 1/3 of it aside for after everything is done baking and cook for another 20-30 minutes
• remove pan from oven and coat with the remaining sauce

If you're the sort that cares for presentation (pansy!) i'd suggest a slice of orange and maraschino cherry on top of each breast.

Does it taste much like a Manhattan? not really. Is it fucking delicious? hells yeah.
