Easy Bourbon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.33 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 0.33 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 cup bourbon
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 2 cups hot cooked rice
• 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 to 3 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, soy sauce, chicken broth, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes.
6. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is fully coated in the sauce and heated through, approximately 2 minutes.
8. Serve the bourbon chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
