Chinese Bourbon Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Trim the fat from the chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces.
2. 2
   In a large, non-porous container, mix together the soy sauce, the sweet soy sauce, the sugar, the bourbon, the ginger, and the garlic.
3. 3
   Add the chicken, toss to coat evenly.
4. 4
   Cover tightly and refrigerate over night.
5. 5
   Remove the chicken from the marinade, do not discard the marinade, it will be used later.
6. 6
   Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok. Make sure the pan is nice and hot before continuing. A sure fire way of ruining a stir-fry is starting cooking in a less-than-blazing-hot pan.

   Add the chicken to the pan, cook until the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is nicely browned.
8. 8
   While the chicken is cooking, mix the cornstarch with a little water, add the slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to the marinating liquid.
9. 9
   Keeping the heat on high, add the marinade to the pan and cook until it thickens.
