Bourbon Style Chicken is a popular dish in the southern United States, known for its sweet and spicy flavor. The dish is typically made with chicken pieces, soy sauce, and a mixture of brown sugar, ketchup, and bourbon whiskey. In this recipe, we use apple juice instead of bourbon whiskey to keep it non-alcoholic. The sauce is also flavored with garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. This Bourbon Style Chicken recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or for feeding a crowd at a party. It's a crowd-pleaser that you can rely on anytime!

Instructions

1.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 7-8 minutes, until browned.
2.While the chicken is cooking, combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well.
3.Once the chicken is browned, pour the sauce mixture over it and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. While stirring the chicken mixture, pour in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook for another minute or two until the sauce thickens.
5.Serve the Bourbon Style Chicken hot with rice or your choice of vegetables.
