More About This Recipe

  • Learning how to make a quick and simple stir-fry sauce is a great way to take your home cooking to the next level. Sure, there a million jarred sauces you can buy in the store, but making one at home gives you the chance to add your own flavor twist…like Jack Daniels™! (Don’t worry. The booze quickly evaporates from the sauce while the sauce is reducing so this recipe is still family friendly. It’ll just have a deeper and more complex flavor.) Serve the stir-fry over rice with extra teriyaki sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Jack Daniels™ Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Jack Daniels™ whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Chicken Stir Fry

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken, sliced thin
  • 1 large red pepper, sliced thin
  • 2 cups snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as canola)
  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    To make Jack Daniels™ teriyaki sauce, whisk together all ingredients except water and cornstarch in a small pot over medium-low heat. Whisk well to dissolve sugars and bring to a simmer.
  • Step 
    2
    In a separate small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch so there are no lumps. Add cornstarch mixture to pot and continue to simmer until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and let cool.
  • Step 
    3
    To make stir-fry, add neutral oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Then add red peppers and snap peas and cook for just another minute. Don’t overcook the vegetables!
  • Step 
    4
    Remove skillet from heat and add half of the teriyaki sauce to the skillet. Toss to combine and coat. Serve over rice with extra sauce on the side.
