Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish

  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well until the sugar is mostly dissolved, creating a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let the chicken sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for a few hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the Griddle: While the chicken marinates, preheat your griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up properly for cooking.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and mixed bell peppers to the griddle. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften and release their aroma.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the griddle. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the other side and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and nicely caramelized.
  6. Combine and Finish Cooking: Mix the sautéed vegetables back into the chicken on the griddle. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to ensure even heating and flavor blending.
  7. Season and Serve: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds for added texture and color.
  8. Enjoy Your Meal: Serve the Blackstone Bourbon Chicken hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy a deliciously savory, sweet, and tender chicken dish.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust the bourbon amount for either milder or stronger boozy flavor.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful results compared to chicken breast.
  • Feel free to add more vegetables such as snap peas or mushrooms for variety.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
