My Chinese bourbon chicken recipe tastes just like takeout—only better. Sweet and savory sauce recipe included!
In this recipe, juicy chicken pieces are stir-fried and coated in a glossy bourbon sauce. A blend of soy, hoisin, and Chinese five spice, it’s sweet and savory at the same time. This dish tastes just like your favorite takeout—and it’s quick enough to whip up for a weeknight dinner, too.

Hi, I'm Mary DiSomma.
I’ve been baking since I was a little girl. In fact, my Italian-American grandmother, mother, and aunts taught me everything I know. They were my "cooking school." In the kitchens of the women in my family, I inherited the tips and tricks of the generations. I continue cooking and baking their recipes to this day. In fact, I still make over 7,000 cookies every year just to give away to family and friends during the holidays!
