Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bourbon Glazed Chicken.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, take your chicken pieces and toss them with a tablespoon of cornstarch until they’re evenly coated—this will help create a deliciously crispy texture.
Step 3
Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and cook it, stirring frequently, until it’s beautifully browned.
Step 5
When it’s ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in the minced onion, garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 7
Sauté these aromatic ingredients for about 1 to 3 minutes, or until they soften and fill your kitchen with a delightful fragrance.
Step 8
While that’s happening, grab a small bowl and whisk together the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch, soy sauce, chicken broth, bourbon (or apple juice if you prefer), brown sugar, cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper.
Step 9
This mixture will become the star of your dish! Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring as it cooks until it thickens and bubbles with excitement.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to bring back the chicken! Add it to the skillet and stir until every piece is well-coated in that luscious sauce and heated through, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Finally, serve your bourbon chicken over a bed of fluffy cooked rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
Step 12
Enjoy this flavorful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
