I found this great recipe on Blogchef (I made a tiny change to the recipe) and thought I'd try it since my husband and I just love chicken over rice kind of dishes. When my husband heard that I was making bourbon chicken, he was surprised but I told him that there was no bourbon in it, he was again surprised. :) The sauce was tingy with a tiny kick which made our mouth water even more! It was delicious. Rice and fried wontons go great with this chicken dish.
Bourbon Chicken
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sizes
Oil (for frying)
Cornstarch (for dusting)
Sauce
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/ teaspoon fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
Direction:
Lightly dust the chicken with cornstarch. Heat oil in a large pan or wok and fry chicken pieces until lightly browned. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into wok and bring to a boil. And chicken pieces back to the pan reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
The name Bourbon comes from Bourbon street in the south. I love southern food so I'm all about eating bourbon chicken! Thanks for sharing your recipies!
