Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breast ((cut into 1-inch chunks))
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
½ cup warm chicken stock or water
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 slice ginger
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
¼ cup onion ((minced))
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water))
1 scallion ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Start by marinating the chicken. Mix 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon soy sauce with the chicken chunks, working it with your hands until the chicken has absorbed all of the liquid. Adding water and soy sauce to the chicken (especially true if using chicken breast) results in a moist and tender chicken experience!
  • Once the chicken has absorbed the liquid, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into the chicken until well combined and set aside.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients by combining the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, dark brown sugar, chicken stock or water, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan on high heat until just smoking, and spread the chicken evenly. Let the chicken sear on one side for 1 minute. Use a metal wok spatula (you can also use a rubber spatula if you can't use metal utensils on your pan) to turn the chicken and sear another minute. Turn off the heat and move the seared chicken to a plate. Set aside.
  • Return the wok to medium heat and immediately add the ginger (if using), garlic, and minced onion. Stir-fry for 20 seconds or until the onion is translucent, taking care not to burn the mixture.
  • Stir in the bourbon to deglaze the wok, most all of the alcohol will cook off leaving the flavor behind. After 30 seconds or so, pour in the sauce mixture and stir to further deglaze the sides of the wok. Once the sauce comes to a simmer, add the chicken back to the wok. Stir until the sauce comes back to a simmer and gradually stir in the cornstarch and water mixture (stir it up first, as the cornstarch may have settled).
  • Continue to stir and cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat a spoon. At this point, you can remove the smashed piece of ginger or warn your guests so there are no surprises! Stir in the scallions and serve with steamed white rice!

BOURBON CHICKEN



Bourbon Chicken image

A favorite named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana and for the bourbon whiskey ingredient; although this dish, sold as Cajun-style cuisine in malls all over America, is reported to be nothing of the kind (not genuine Creole or Cajun fare)! Note: If you double the recipe, make sure that the chicken is still in a single layer. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Tips:

  • Choose the right bourbon: Not all bourbons are created equal. For the best flavor, choose a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a strong, smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Bourbon chicken is best when it is cooked quickly over high heat. If you overcook it, the chicken will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is a key ingredient in this marinade, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and has a rich, umami flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some garlic, ginger, or chili peppers to the marinade.

Conclusion:

Bourbon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the chicken with a smoky, savory flavor, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve bourbon chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
