📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper, and cornstarch in a large bowl until coated.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add half of the chicken in a single layer and cook, turning, until well browned, crispy and cooked through, about ⏱️ 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken and transfer to the same plate.
3
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add the 1 cup of chicken stock, apple juice, bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and crushed red chili flakes. Whisk until combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then cook until reduced by about half.
