I'd never eaten bourbon chicken until a few weeks ago. I got it at a restaurant and man it was yummy! I remembered seeing a bourbon chicken recipe posted by Kathy over at Three on Food and knew I had to try it. Although this was nothing like the chicken I had whenI went out to eat, it was very good (I know the picture's terrible). Sophie and Chase loved it and Brad even finished his (and he isn't a big chicken fan). The chicken's very tender and flavorful and the dish's extremely quick and easy... definitely worth fixing again. Thanks Kathy for the great recipe :)
BOURBON CHICKEN
2lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, or tenders
oil (for frying)
cornstarch (for dusting, optional)
Sauce
1 garlic minced clove
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 TBSP ketchup
1 TBSP cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
Cut chicken breasts into bit sized pieces, then lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat oil in your wok and fry chicken bits in batches until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside. In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into pan and bring to a boil. Add chicken bits back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
