Instructions
Creating Brown Sugar Bourbon Chicken Bites is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
2. Cut the Chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or sauté the chicken bites for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice caramelized color.
6. Glaze the Chicken: Optional: Brush any remaining marinade onto the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve: Transfer the chicken bites to a platter for serving.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible chicken bites effortlessly.
