- ½ cup Bourbon Whiskey
- 2 tablespoons white wine optional, but recommended

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, dried onion, bourbon, and white wine (if using).Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the liquid!) and add it to the pan in a single layer.Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 15–20 minutes.
- Make the Glaze: While the chicken cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Finish & Serve: Pour the warm glaze over the cooked chicken and toss to coat.Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or with stir-fried veggies.
