Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, garlic, and ginger. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.
