Peachy Chicken

When we go to Five Guys for burgers and fries, I always put the malt vinegar on my fries.  And I always think this recipe, found on the back of the malt vinegar bottle, looks so good.  I wrote it down once, but then I lost it, so yesterday we went to Five Guys again, and I wrote it down again.  I'm not going to lose it this time.

 Peachy Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can peach slices, drained and reserve juice
• 2 1/2 lbs skinless chicken pieces
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1/4 cup malt vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

1. In large skillet, brown the chicken in the oil.
2. Combine the reserved peach liquid, orange concentrate, vinegar, brown sugar, basil, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and pepper. Pour over browned chicken. Cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
3. Add peaches; heat. Combine 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water; stir into sauce. Heat, stirring, until sauce is thickened.
4. Serve chicken and sauce with rice.

I need to buy some malt vinegar, and then I'm definitely making this.  (I started to buy malt vinegar at the store once, but this recipe wasn't on the bottle, so I didn't buy it.)
