Easy Bourbon Chicken

Prepare the Chicken Cut chicken into one-inch bite-sized pieces and dip chicken in cornstarch, salt, and pepper mixture in a large or medium bowl until covered. Cook the Chicken Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches until golden and fully cooked – about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside. Saute Aromatics In the same skillet, cook minced garlic until fragrant, making sure not to burn it. Make the Sauce Into the skillet, combine the water, apple juice, bourbon, chicken broth, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, onion powder, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and bring the sauce to a boil. Combine Chicken and Sauce Return the chicken to the skillet and let it cook for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce mixture is reduced. Thicken the Sauce Make a slurry with the cornstarch and a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the sauce until the sauce thickens to a sticky glaze. Serve Plate the dish hot over white rice or your favorite noodles. Enjoy immediately.

Fantastic. Better than restaurant version. I love spicy, so I added a bit more red pepper flakes and it turned out spectacularly. We pair it with homemade fried rice and it is devoured extremely quickly. Will be adding to regular rotation.

Pretty good recipe, alittle too sweet though. If you want something a bit more savory, maybe double the bourbon, half the brown sugar. We'll be attempting this again dinnertime.

Was nice with ingredients listed, but I added less water and more flour/water mixture to thicken. Also added hot sauce, sauce was like water without the altering. But good overall idea, just tweaked a bit.

Tasted more like orange chicken than the salty sweet of bourbon chicken. It was sweeter.

Really good. Would have liked the sauce to be thicker. I followed the recipe to the letter and it never thickened. Added a little more cornstarch and still nothing. You don't want to keep boiling your meat so I feel kinda limited on options.

I like my food on the more savory side so I added less ketchup and less brown sugar. Added chopped red bell pepper in with the sauce and added green onion as garnish. Served over white rice. Delicious.

Came out perfect

Made this without bourbon and ginger because I didn't have any and it turned out pretty tasty!

This was pretty good although next time I would cut back on the soy sauce. Even with the low sodium kind it was very salty. Other than that, nice flavor! Also, this makes a TON of sauce even for the amount of chicken.

Great!!!! Made a lot of sauce, I had lots left over

Very easy to make, tasted great too!

Sticky & sweet. My kids love this.

Delicious, big hit!

So good just like the article says it's like at the mall! It makes plenty of sauce which my family loves. Will def make again.

I had to use beef broth because I was out of chicken....this is a good recipe though. if you're a little sensitive to spice...you may want to reduce the red pepper flakes to a 1/4 tsp instead of doing 1/2 tsp. Try this immediately. My mother is a picky eater and she loves this!
