Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • ½ cup Bourbon whiskey Use a good quality bourbon for best results.

  • to taste Salt Essential for seasoning.

For Garnishing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, combine the bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil onto the surface.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat lightly with paper towels, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken onto the hot griddle. Cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden-brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Strain the reserved marinade through a fine mesh. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Slowly pour into the boiling marinade while whisking. Cook until glossy and thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  • Brush the thickened sauce over cooked chicken on the griddle. Let sit for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Transfer the glazed chicken to a cutting board and slice into medallions for presentation. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with leftover sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour, but overnight for deeper flavors. Ensure griddle is preheated for the best sear.
