Let's Get that Chicken Drunk!

I've cooked with wine.
I've beer canned  a chicken.
I make a mean Kahlua cake, yet I have never cooked with vodka.
Until tonight.

When I think of cooking with it, I think penne with a vodka cream sauce (although I can honestly say I have never had it)

Recently I was given a cookbook simply called "The Vodka Cookbook" and a bottle to boot.
I thumbed through the pages but what I was having tonight didn't make it into those chapters.
I guess you could say it was a creative decision to not use the book.
Actually it was lack of ingredients and it being a holiday (so the stores weren't even available to dash out to).

So I improvised.
Chipotles
Oranges
Vodka
Garlic
Honey

Good mix actually.
Sweet with a kick.

My only regret was not marinating in the mixture first and having more to brush onto later.
We BBQ'd it and glazed it in the last few minutes of cooking.
Next time for sure!
