8 servings

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup apple-grape-cherry juice
  • 0.66666668653488 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup peach-flavored bourbon liqueur (such as Southern Comfort ®)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 0.75 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 cup apple-grape-cherry juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pan. Cook and stir chicken pieces in hot oil until lightly golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together water, brown sugar, 3/4 cup fruit juice, soy sauce, ketchup, bourbon liqueur, vinegar, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, and ginger in the Dutch oven. Bring sauce to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir chicken into sauce, then bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened and chicken pieces are no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken pieces to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Stir together 1/4 cup fruit juice with cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; whisk into sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Return chicken pieces to sauce and stir to combine.
