Creating Bourbon Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

5. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken and coat the chicken well.

6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or brown sugar to suit your preference.

7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

8. Serve: Serve hot over a bed of cooked rice, allowing the sauce to soak into the rice for an extra flavor boost.
