directions

- dice onions, mince garlic and chop celery and peppers.
- put about 2 tsp oil in a hot pan.
- sear the thighs and remove.
- sweat vegetables. if needed, add remaining tsp of oil.
- when veggies are nicely softened, deglaze pan with chicken broth.
- add spices and bring to a simmer.
- cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add back to pan, including any juices on the plate.
- add bourbon. if you're the type, ignite with a lighter and watch out! if you're that other type, breathe in deeply. otherwise, just open a window and let the alcohol escape.
- thoroughly mix corn starch with the water and add to pan.

- serve with rice or in a bread-bowl. I prefer brown rice.
- A little vinegar is nice on top, or some chopped parsley.
