Steps:
- Cut the chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces, and remove any excess fat or skin.
- In a small bowl combine the ginger, pepper, soy sauce, whisky, water, garlic, vinegar and brown sugar. Set aside.
- In a large saute pan or skillet heat the oil on medium high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook until the juices have cooked off and the chicken starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir the chicken every 1-2 minutes so it doesn't burn and browns evenly.
- Add the bourbon mixture and stir well. Allow the liquid to come to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Don't rush this as you want the alcohol to cook off from the whiskey.
- Add in the cornstarch liquid and stir briskly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
- Serve over rice.

Steps:
- HEAT GRILL OR OVEN if using. See cooking options for chicken below.
- PREPARE SAUCE: Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk to mix well.
- COOK CHICKEN USING ONE OF THESE OPTIONS. In all cases, transfer to a plate after cooking and keep warm. Note that recipe will take longer with some cooking methods. ° Stir fry bite size chicken: Cut up chicken into bite size pieces, place in bag with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt, shake until lightly coated. Sauté in oil in a skillet on medium high heat in two batches until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes depending on size of pieces. ° Stir fry full size chicken pieces: Dust chicken with cornstarch and salt. Sauté chicken in a bit of oil in pan on medium high heat, transfer to a board, let sit for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces. Keep warm.° Grill chicken (my preference if you have a grill handy - quick and easy): Toss the larger pieces of chicken with a bit of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on medium high for a 3-4 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces.° Bake chicken: drizzle breasts or thighs with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Baked in pan lined with parchment (for easy clean up) at 425F/218C for about 18 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces. ° Sous vide chicken: at 144F/62C for 1.5 to a maximum of 4 hours. Here is a recipe to follow for sous vide chicken if you need one.
- COOK SAUCE AND TOSS WITH CHICKEN: Heat skillet to medium high. Add sauce and cook, stirring, until it starts to boil and thicken about 3-4 minutes. Add chicken and stir to coat. Lower heat and cook for another 2 minutes just until chicken is well coated with sauce and heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two or water or juice. Serve over rice if desired. Garnish with chopped green onions and/or sesame seeds if you like.

BOURBON CHICKEN
I searched and finally found this recipe on the internet. It is a copycat of the Bourbon Chicken sold in Chinese carry-outs in my hometown. This recipe is so good that my sons gobble it up leaving me just a spoonful. Their excuse was they thought I had eaten. Editor's Note: Named Bourbon Chicken because it was supposedly created by a Chinese cook who worked in a restaurant on Bourbon Street.

Tips:
- For a more authentic flavor, use dark meat chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Thighs have a higher fat content yielding juicier and more flavorful meat. - To get the chicken extra crispy, dredge it in cornstarch before coating it in the sauce. This will help the sauce to caramelize and create a crispy coating on the chicken. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam than fry. - Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. - Serve the bourbon chicken with steamed rice, egg noodles, or roasted vegetables.Conclusion:
This copycat recipe for mall bourbon chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It's easy to make, relatively quick, and absolutely delicious. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet, and the whole dish is incredibly satisfying. So next time you're craving mall bourbon chicken, skip the food court and make this recipe at home. You won't be disappointed!
