• Slow Cooker Huli Huli Chicken

• Description

• Crockpot huli huli chicken is a dinner you can set and forget, then come back to and enjoy in all of its tropical goodness! Each bite of fork-tender chicken is flavored with the best sauce made of ginger, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and savory!

• Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice

• 1/2 cup soy sauce

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/3 cup ketchup

• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root grated

• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

• 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs -OR- chicken breasts

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• Directions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together your pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, and garlic. Place your chicken thighs into a crock pot and pour your sauce mixture over the top of them, and cook on low for 5-7 hours. Remove the chicken from the crock pot and whisk in your cornstarch to thicken the sauce. At this point you can either enjoy your chicken in the whole thigh pieces with the sauce, or shred the chicken and add the shredded chicken back to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Shredding the chicken makes it an ideal sandwich filler, or topping on rice!

• Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Japanese Whiskey

• Description

• Miyagikyo Single Malt is a range of single malt expressions from the Miyagikyo Distillery. Nikka’s founder Masataka Taketsuru chose a valley in the Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery, and started its operation in 1969. He aimed to make a complete contrast between the two distilleries, Miyagikyo and Yoichi, with different natural environments and production methods. Miyagikyo malts are described as elegant and fruity. Made from light peated and non-peated malted barley, whiskies distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam express a signature fruitiness and delicate mouthfeel. This no-age-statement version was released in 2016 as a permanent product that showcases the elegant style of Miyagikyo malts, when all age-statements were discontinued. This bottling has estery aromas generated by carefully selected yeast strains along with distinctive Sherry cask influence.

• Proof: 90 (45% ABV)
