Tender chicken thighs glazed in sweet bourbon sauce - a New Orleans favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 cups hot cooked rice
  • 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions:
  • Prepare your mise en place.
  • Coat chicken evenly with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a medium bowl.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until softened and fragrant, about 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with soy sauce, broth, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir constantly until it thickens and bubbles.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir until it's fully coated in the delicious sauce and heated through, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Serve the dish over a bed of fragrant rice and garnish beautifully with chopped green onions.
