Very nice simple dish to put together and delicious. I did a mix of broccoli and cauliflower florets and a 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (but will up that next time) and In making this again the only change I would make would be to cut the brown sugar back to 1/4 cup as the bourbon (Southern Comfort) is quite sweet in itself. The DH did suggest throwing in some sliced pineapple in place of the sugar and asked to cut back on the capsicum (red pepper - I used a small green pepper which had red streaks through it) but overall he would be happy to have again - a keeper. Thank you once again for a delicious recipe The Flying Chef, made for Edition 8 - Make My Recipe.

Ohh I also pre cooked the chicken in the oven. Great flavours and this recipe came together so easliy.... it was fantastic! Thanks Flying Chef for another wondrful recipe!

This is one of those 10* recipes... amazing. I sneaked some of DHs whisky and followed the recipe exactly. I don't even know how to describe the sauce, Asian inspired, sweet, spicy, rich, incredibly satisfying, this is restaurant quality and one of the best recipes I have prepared to date. I had some cooked chicken in the fridge and made this on the spur of the moment, to use it up.. wow, the best finds are made by accident! AMAZING!! Thank you, FC!!
