A delightful twist on the classic Bourbon Chicken, this recipe brings a balance of sweet and tangy flavors with a hint of spice.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, applesauce, brown sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar, water, and soy sauce. Whisk until well mixed.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
Return the chicken to the skillet, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the chicken and sauce over hot cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
For a complete meal, pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
