This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

We used this marinade/glaze for our chicken dinner accompanied by a quinoa and black beans dish. It was the perfect compliment. We chose to pair the dinner with a 2006 Ridge Zinfandel. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
