Our recipe for Orange Whiskey Chicken is a variation of Bourbon Chicken.  Very little alcohol is used in the recipe and you can just leave it out if you wish.  This recipe really features the sauce to which we added water chestnuts but you can change that up as you wish.  Any other stir-fried vegetables would be good and particularly snow peas.  We served our chicken with steamed broccoli and hot steamed rice.  We prefer chicken thighs for a richer flavor but  you can use chicken breast if you prefer.
