Method
 

Marinating and Cooking
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fully mixed. Let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, seal the bag, ensuring all pieces are coated, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and drizzle it with vegetable oil. Heat for about 5-7 minutes until hot.
  4. Remove the marinated chicken, drain slightly, pat dry, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken on the hot griddle and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. While the chicken is grilling, strain the reserved marinade through a fine-mesh sieve and heat in a saucepan until it begins to simmer.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water until smooth. Whisk into simmering marinade, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  8. Brush the thickened sauce over cooked chicken while resting on the griddle for a minute.
  9. Cut the glazed chicken into medallions, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
