01
Step 1
Start by tossing the peach, mango, garlic, rosemary, thyme, brown sugar, pepper, whiskey, olive oil, and white wine vinegar into a blender. Blend everything until you get a smooth sauce.
02
Step 2
Pour about two-thirds of this marinade into a large resealable bag, add the chicken, and give it a good toss so the meat is well coated. Squeeze out any extra air, seal the bag, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for around 5 hours. Keep the leftover marinade in a sealed container in the fridge for later.

Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Place a wooden plank on the grill and brush it with a little olive oil to keep things from sticking.

Step 4
Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and throw away the used marinade. Once the plank starts to smoke a bit, lay the chicken on it. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and no longer pink inside. A meat thermometer should read 165°F (74°C) when it’s done.

Step 5
While it’s grilling, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade to keep it flavorful and juicy. Enjoy!
