I really enjoy the "bourbon chicken" they make at the Chinese restaurants at the malls: chicken pieces in a dark, sweet, runny sauce. I would sure like to know how to make it and have it taste like theirs. If there is a version without the Bourbon, that would be best.
I enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much,
Jerrie

To substitute for bourbon in your recipe, try this:
1 tablespoon bourbon = 1 tablespoon vanilla extract + 2 tablespoons water
OR use and even amount of sparkling apple cider, sparkling cranberry juice, or sparkling grape juice, or non-alcoholic vanilla extract
