Bourbon Chicken Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken breast

  cut into bite-sized chunks, or use chicken thighs
• 3 cloves garlic

  minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  or use vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup bourbon

  use apple juice as a non-alcoholic substitute
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  optional for a touch of heat, or to taste
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• For Garnish: Chopped scallions/green onions

  spicy chili flakes

Instructions

• 1 Heat the sesame oil together in a wok or pan to medium-high heat. Add the
  chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to turn
  golden brown.
• 2 Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
• 3 Whisk together the soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar and red pepper
  flakes in a medium bowl. Pour the sauce into the wok or pan and reduce heat.
  Simmer for 10 minutes to cook off the alcohol from the bourbon and cook the
  chicken through.
• 4 Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir it into the pan
  and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens to your preference. You can
  use a bit more cornstarch for a thicker sauce.
• 5 Garnish and serve! I love mine over steamed rice, or with noodles!
