Making Sticky Bourbon Chicken is straightforward. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix bourbon, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Sear the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
5. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the simmering sauce. Stir until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine: Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the thickened sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken well.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
8. Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.

Following these steps will yield a delicious Sticky Bourbon Chicken that you’ll be proud to serve!
