Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs boneless, skinless and cut into one inch pieces
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Bourbon Sauce
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- cornstarch slurry
Instructions
- Whisk together the ingredients for the bourbon sauce and set aside. Adjust any of the seasonings to taste at this point.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken thigh pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken thigh pieces until browned on both sides. Drain any excess oil and fat.
- Pour the sauce into the pan, stirring it to coat the chicken completely. Cook on medium heat for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken has cooked all the way through.
- If the sauce hasn't thickened to your liking after the chicken is cooked, prepare the cornstarch slurry and slowly whisk into the hot sauce until it thickens to your liking.
- Remove from the heat. Serve over rice.
Notes
- Only use the cornstarch slurry if the sauce hasn't thickened. This could be due to water content or juice from the chicken thighs
- If desired you can DOUBLE the sauce recipe easily for tons of sauce!
