Instructions
1) Season clean boneless, skinless chicken thighs with 1 tbsp low-sodium chicken seasoning, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tsp ginger paste, and 1 tsp garlic paste. 2) Sear chicken in 2 tbsp of avocado or vegetable oil on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes on each side. 3) Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest. 4) Use the same pan over medium heat, and add your sauce made with: 1/3 cup low-sodium dark soy sauce, 1/3 cup bourbon, 1.5 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp ginger paste, 2 tsp garlic paste, and 2 tsp sesame oil. 5) Mix in 1/4 cup of brown sugar (or to taste) until dissolved. Once the sauce starts to lightly bubble, turn the heat down to low to thicken. 6) Add between 1/4 - 1/2 cup water, if needed, for the sauce to reach your desired consistency. 7) Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then add it back to the pan, and incorporate it into the sauce well to simmer for a couple minutes. Serve over white rice or homemade veggie fried rice, and garnish with scallion and/or sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!View original recipe
