Anweisungen

In a bowl, mix bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Mix water and cornstarch to make a slurry and add to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.

Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
