In reply to Pam. Thank you for leaving a postive review! Adding green beans and water chestnuts sound super delicious :)

In reply to Kevin in OR. Glad to hear you like this dish too and I'm very interested in your version! If you happen to give this one a try, let me know what you think. I also would love to know how you cook it differently :)

I love the basic recipe however, I use brandy instead of bourbon. We prefer it and I add small whole French green beans (defrosted if frozen) and water chestnuts. Since we love the sauce so much I double it.

Heya Maggie, GREAT looking recipe and I already know it’ll be a 5 star! As the self-appointed Master of Bourbon Chicken I am super excited to try this! I’ve given up trying to get it “perfect” long ago (100s of recipes, not a one of them get it right!) so Ive settled on my own version over the years. With your version here I’m right at home! I also use Bourbon at the end of a dish (as well as in the dish) to boost the boozieness and deliver the Bourbon flavor. Everything about your version sounds like itll be my new favorite version, I love the Chinese aromatics and white onion choices so I’m making this tonight, no waiting! Thanks again for all your wonderful recipes and hope all is well with the little man! They grow up SO fast, enjoy every minute! Be well!
