Yum! This made a very moist and tasty sweet chicken. I used 6 frozen boneless skinless chicken breast tenders...mixed the thyme into the marinade...put it all in a ziploc bag...and let it marinate and defrost at the same time for a couple hours at room temperature. I broiled them. The thyme and maple flavors are dominate...I couldn't really taste the whiskey (I used Jim Beam) which was fine with me but my Hubby would have liked to. Made for kittencalskitchen.com tag game.

Great tasty grilled chicken! The thyme with the sweet and smokey maple/whiskey was a nice pairing. Enjoyed this - thanks for sharing your recipe!

Yummy and easy to make. I made as directed using Jack Daniels and we all enjoyed this. Next time I would marinate the breasts like another reviewer did to try and get more of the flavor through the chicken.

Loved the flavors! I didn't watch carefully like it says in step #4 so it did flare up. But still was delicious and tasty. A tad bit on the dry side...my doing...next time I will hang closer to the grill. :) Thanks for posting.
