The Best Bourbon Chicken | full recipe

Wash the boneless chicken thighs and set aside.

In a bowl, season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, chicken bouillon, and seasoned salt. Marinate for about 1-2 hours.

Preheat a skillet and add oil.

Sear the marinated chicken thighs in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on both sides until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Add more oil and sesame oil to the skillet.

Add chopped garlic, ginger, and onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the bourbon and cook for about 1 minute to cook off the harsh alcohol taste.

Add chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and mushroom seasoning to the skillet. Allow to come to a simmer.

Once simmering, add corn starch to thicken the sauce.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss in the sauce. If chicken is not fully cooked, allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with jasmine rice and stir fried vegetables.
