Instructions

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and coat them evenly with cornstarch.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in Fireball whiskey, hot sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add cooked chicken back to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Adjust the hot sauce and red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
Serve over rice or with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Can be made with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
