Sure! The recipe is from Bon Appetite, the only modifications I made was to decrease the olive oil to 1/4 cup and only used 3 Serrano chilis because I was serving my kids as well. It's a keeper! http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/wedding-chicken
Thank you. I agree, I was using Naomi Pomeroy's Wedding Chicken and the marinade was so good, I couldn't let it go to waste. I boiled some of it down to a syrup and fried basmati rice in it, just enough to give a little kick. It was delicious!
Boiling point; 212 deg. Health department says sauces need to be brought to 165 deg. to kill potentially hazardous bacteria, which also happens to be the temp. poultry needs to be cooked to....so technically, yes. It's safe.
That aside, I don't really see the point. The drippings and juices from the chicken alone (served over rice) will provide ample flavor and moisture to the rice. I always think of rice like a piece of bread; left pretty neutral as a vehicle for other flavors and sauces. I think adding another "sauce" (marinade) will just muddle everything a little too much. Overkill (for lack of a better word). Like drizzling olive oil on buttered bread.
How are you thinking to use it? You would likely be better off removing the chicken from its final cooking, and reducing the juices along with some lemon juice and butter at the end to make a deeply flavorful pan sauce.
The chicken gets removed from the marinade and baked at a high temp to crisp. I wanted to used the leftover marinade to drizzle over rice (after it's been boiled, of course). I just never know if this is safe?

Just my opinion.
