Instructions
- First, combine all the sauce ingredients. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, bourbon whiskey, unsweetened apple juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.
- Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) thick strips.
- Add one tablespoon of cornstarch to a shallow plate. Lightly coat the chicken strips with the cornstarch.
- Heat a skillet (or frying pan) over medium-high heat with oil. Add the chicken strips and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and almost cooked through. Add the bourbon sauce mixture to the skillet and stir constantly to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
- In a small bowl, mix one teaspoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water and whisk well. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat.
- Dish out the chicken and serve immediately, garnished with chopped scallions sprinkled on top.
