Southern Comfort Chicken

Mille® 's Note:

This is from the Scottish/English border region. To make it authentically British, you should use mead (if you can find it!) instead of Southern Comfort. But it's delicious either way.

This dish was a lot more oily than I like to serve and there wasn't much flavor. The chicken was very tender. If trying again I would pour off the oil before frying the onions and making the sauce.

This was really really nice. I used 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I'll definitely be making this again. The flavour is quite delicate in my opinion so I think I'll add more mushrooms and a little more sothern comfort. A great recipe!!
