Bourbon Chicken

Description:
adapted from a recipe at Food.com. It doesn't have any alcohol and tastes good, though not like the bourbon chicken at our favorite restaurant (which probably does have alcohol!!!)

1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce

Stacy's Notes: Made this March 2011. I read some of the notes (there were over 2,000!), and made a few changes, mostly based on what I had on hand. I took out two large frozen b/s chicken breasts (bag from Sam's) and cut the thawed chicken into bite-sized pieces. I mixed up my sauce in a bowl beforehand. I didn't have apple juice, so I subbed plain applesauce instead. I used a little less brown sugar, and about that many red chili flakes (next time use a bit less, fine for Tim but almost spicy for me). I used bottled garlic and bottled ginger (had on hand) and everything else the same. I browned the chicken, took it out, put the sauce in the pan and let it come to boil, then start to reduce. Since I had cooked my chicken nearly through, I didn't add it back to the pan until about half way through the 20 minute sauce reduction. Served over brown rice with stir fry veggies and steamed dumplings. Good, a keeper.
