Whiskey-infused Southern chicken simmered in fruity sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup apple-grape-cherry juice
  • 0.66666668653488 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup peach-flavored bourbon liqueur (such as Southern Comfort ®)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 0.75 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 cup apple-grape-cherry juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven or large, heavy pan, heat oil until shimmering. Sear chicken pieces until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • Combine water, brown sugar, 3/4 cup fruit juice, soy sauce, ketchup, bourbon liqueur, vinegar, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a Dutch oven. Bring the sauce to a boil, making sure to scrape off the delicious browned bits using a wooden spoon.
  • Combine the chicken with the sauce and bring to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Then, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Combine 1/4 cup fruit juice with cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, then mix it into the sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until thickened for about 1 minute. Add back the chicken to the sauce and mix well.
