Creating Bourbon Chicken is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Follow these steps to make this incredible dish:

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
4. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until well coated.
6. Cook Together: Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions for a pop of color.

These simple steps will guide you in creating a mouthwatering Bourbon Chicken that your family will adore.
