"Brown the chicken pieces firstly before marinating them. Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinate in the sauce overnight. Brandy can be replaced with the bourbon and the cayenne can be replaced with crushed dryed chili flakes."

  1. This is a delicious combination of flavors. I made the sauce one evening and left it in the fridge overnight; browned and added the chicken to the marinade first thing in the morning and cooked it at night (about 10 hrs later). I served it with rice to soak up the sauce.
