2nd Recipe

 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs (I used boneless skinless – delish!)

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup white distilled vinegar

1/4 cup bourbon

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon crushed or sliced ginger (fresh, not dried)

4 cloves crushed garlic

4–5 green onions, cut into thirds or sliced

1 cup uncooked basmati rice

Instructions

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Combine the soy sauce, oil, vinegar, bourbon, and brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk until combined. Place the chicken in a baking dish (a casserole pan or something with high sides) with lid and pour the sauce over the chicken. Toss in the ginger, garlic, and half of the green onions. Cover and marinate overnight (or for as many hours as you have before baking).

THE DAY OF: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the chicken and bake directly in the marinade for 45 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce periodically and/or turning the pieces upside down to get them baking in the sauce on both sides. Cook the rice according to package directions.

When the chicken is done, turn the oven temperature to broil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to get a nice, browned exterior on the chicken. Remove and serve whole or cut, with extra sauce and scallions, over the rice.

Key Lime Pie

For the Lime Filling:

4 teaspoons grated key lime zest
4 egg yolks
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
½ cup (114 g) fresh key lime juice


For the Graham Cracker Crust:

2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs, (approximately 14 full graham crackers)
⅓ cup (71 g) light brown sugar
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Pinch salt


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Make the Filling: Whisk the lime zest and egg yolks in a medium bowl for 2 minutes. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, then the lime juice. Set aside at room temperature to thicken while you prepare the crust.

Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt, ensuring no lumps of brown sugar remain. Drizzle the melted butter over the graham cracker mixture and toss to combine with a fork, ensuring the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate, and pack tightly using the back of a measuring cup. Bake for 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Once the crust has cooled to room temperature, pour the lime filling into the crust. Bake until the center is set yet still wiggly when jiggled, 15 to 17 minutes. Return the pie to a wire rack; cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
