Remember back in April when I promised I'd post my homemade bourbon chicken recipe later that week?
Yeah, about that.
Better late than never, right?
Right.
Here we go.
First, brown up about a pound or two of chicken chopped into smallish pieces.
In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, mix together the following:
1 clove garlic, crushed (I use the refrigerated pre-chopped stuff.)
1/4 teaspoon ginger
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or less if you want less spicy)
1/4 cup apple juice (I've used other juices in a pinch)
1/3 cup light brown sugar (I use a lot less because I don't like too much sweetness)
2 tablespoons catsup (ketchup?)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
(Sometimes I add a squirt of mustard if I feel like it.)
Once the chicken is browned, dump the mixture over the chicken. Simmer on the stove for about 15-20 minutes.
I serve mine over rice.
(And it normally looks a lot browner than this... maybe I added a bunch of mustard to this batch? I don't remember.)
Either way, this is a fairly-easy and definitely tasty dinner.
And it's probably much healthier than the bourbon chicken I get at the mall.
Do you have any fun new recipes? My cooking is getting mighty boring...
