Bourbon Chicken
- 1/2 cup Bourbon Whiskey
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 dash Freshly Grated Ginger
- 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 lb Chicken (Cutlet) Breast - Thinned & Cubed
- 5 Baby Bella Mushrooms - Sliced
- 1/2 Green Zucchini - Sliced in Quaters
- 1 Corn Starch
- 1 Chives
- 1 Toasted Sesame Seeds
- Put all the ingredients listed above except for the chicken, vegetables and corn starch into a small/medium sauce pan.
- Stir and bring to a simmer and until all the sugar is dissolved.
- Be careful as the alcohol in the bourbon may catch fire.
- Let the alcohol burn off or you will get tipsy from this dish.
- Do not lower the fire on the stove.
- If it does not catch fire this means your sauce pan is too deep, and I would suggest taking a long match or lighter and lighting it so it burns out.
- Now add the vegetables and stir into sauce on a lower flame, followed by adding the chicken.
- Cook on a medium/high flame for about 5-7 minutes and mix periodically.
- To finish, make a slurry of corn starch and thicken the sauce while it is on high and boiling.
- To thicken the sauce to desired thickness.
- Best not to make it too thin as it will gel more once it starts to cool.
- Garnish with chives and toasted sesame seeds and put over fresh cooked rice and enjoy!
