Delicious Bourbon Chicken Recipe

This bourbon chicken is sweet, tangy, and mouthwateringly delicious. The sauce is a delightful mix of soy sauce, brown sugar, and bourbon that coats the chicken beautifully, making each bite an explosion of flavor.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped for garnish
Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Simmer the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the bourbon chicken over rice for a complete meal.
