Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the bourbon mixture over the chicken.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
