I've been on the hunt for a perfect copycat recipe of the bourbon chicken you get in shopping mall food courts for years, and I think I finally landed on the perfect recipe with some help from various industry sources. I've tried other recipes and always found them wanting. You gotta try this one!

Prep Steps

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes {do:cut}

Season the Chicken

Coat thoroughly with...

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt{tip:We test with Morton kosher salt. Using table salt? Use about 3/4 as much. Diamond Crystal? Use about 1 1/2 times as much.}

Brown the Chicken

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat...

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Cook the chicken until browned on all sides, 5–6 minutes, then set aside.

The Bourbon Sauce

In a saucepan, combine...

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cooking sherry
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Simmer Together

Add the chicken to the sauce and simmer 2–3 minutes so the flavors come together. Serve over white or fried rice with a side of stir-fried vegetables.
