Mirj's Boozy Maple Chicken

---

Necessity is the mother of invention. i have a collection of blended whisky in the house that my husband refuses to drink, single malt snob that he is. he claimed the stuff was only good for paint thinner or rust remover. not so. with a little help from toolie who sent me some maple syrup from canada, i invented a chicken dish that made everyone happy all around.
