Steps:

• Cut the chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces, and remove any excess fat or skin.
• In a small bowl combine the ginger, pepper, soy sauce, whisky, water, garlic, vinegar and brown sugar. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan or skillet heat the oil on medium high heat.
• Add the chicken and cook until the juices have cooked off and the chicken starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir the chicken every 1-2 minutes so it doesn't burn and browns evenly.
• Add the bourbon mixture and stir well. Allow the liquid to come to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Don't rush this as you want the alcohol to cook off from the whiskey.
• Add in the cornstarch liquid and stir briskly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
• Serve over rice.

CHINESE BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Trim the fat from the chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces.
• In a large, non-porous container, mix together the soy sauce, the sweet soy sauce, the sugar, the bourbon, the ginger, and the garlic.
• Add the chicken, toss to coat evenly.
• Cover tightly and refrigerate over night.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, do not discard the marinade, it will be used later.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok. Make sure the pan is nice and hot before continuing. A sure fire way of ruining a stir-fry is starting cooking in a less-than-blazing-hot pan.
• Add the chicken to the pan, cook until the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is nicely browned.
• While the chicken is cooking, mix the cornstarch with a little water, add the slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to the marinating liquid.
• Keeping the heat on high, add the marinade to the pan and cook until it thickens.
• Remove from heat, serve over rice, garnished with roughly chopped cilantro.
