For an intensified flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in a mixture of pineapple juice, bourbon whiskey, and soy sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Adjust the amount of bourbon whiskey according to your personal preference. Experiment with different types of mushrooms to customize the flavor profile of the sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason the Chicken: Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
03
StepGrill the Chicken: Cook the chicken thighs on the preheated grill until fully cooked and slightly charred, approximately 7 minutes per side. Ensure an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. (14 minutes)
04
StepPrepare the Chicken: Allow the grilled chicken to cool slightly before slicing it into strips and placing them in a large glass bowl. (5 minutes)
05
StepCraft the Whiskey Sauce: In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, bourbon whiskey, soy sauce, crushed garlic cloves, brown sugar, and black pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
06
StepSauté the Mushrooms: While the sauce simmers, melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced mushrooms until softened, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the sautéed mushrooms into the simmering sauce. (5 minutes)
07
StepCombine and Serve: Pour the luscious mushroom-whiskey sauce over the chicken strips, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)
