Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
6. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
8. Serve the bourbon chicken over steamed rice or with a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
