1/2 tsp Black Pepper
2/3 cup Soy Sauce
2/3 cup Apple Juice

Instructions

PREPARING:

1. Cut up the chicken into one-inch cubes and put in the bag.

2. Mix the ginger, garlic, pepper, soy sauce, apple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar in a bowl then dump into the bag and seal.

COOKING:

3. Thaw for about 24 hours or in a bowl of cold water for a couple of hours.

4. Dump in pot (do not add cornstarch or water) and cook on high pressure/manual for 3 minutes. Do a 5-minute natural release.

5. Open the lid and if you want to thicken the sauce turn on the sauté option.

6. Mix the corn starch and water together thoroughly in a small bowl. Then pour into Instant Pot

7. Mix into the chicken and sauce and let cook until the sauce thickens (usually 2-3 minutes).

Notes

You can totally make this without prepping it ahead as well if desired. Just skip the bag and do everything in the instant pot!

CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook for 4-6 hours on low.

2. If you want to thicken the sauce put the bourbon chicken mix in a large skillet and turn the heat on medium/high.

3. Mix the corn starch and water then pour the mixture into the pan and cook until thickened. Usually only takes 2-3 minutes.

GLUTEN ALTERNATIVES:

Since Soy sauce contains wheat switch to using Coconut Aminos instead!
