How to Make Bourbon Chicken
Ingredient Notes
Chicken: I used chicken breasts, but you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. Bourbon: There is bourbon in this recipe that cooks down in the sauce. However, if you prefer to omit the bourbon, you can use apple juice instead. It has a very similar flavor profile once cooked. Cornstarch: The cornstarch slurry is what thickens the sauce – don’t skip it.
