Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces, removing excess fat and skin.
In a small bowl, combine the ginger, black pepper, soy sauce, whisky, water, garlic, vinegar and brown sugar; set aside.
In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the oil on medium high heat. Add the chicken; cook until the juices have cooked off and the chicken starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes, stirring the chicken every 1-2 minutes so it doesn’t burn and browns evenly.
Add the bourbon mixture; stir well. Allow the liquid to come to a boil; turn heat down to medium. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, not rushing because you want the alcohol to cook off from the whiskey. While it is at a full simmer, add in the corn starch liquid; stir briskly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
Serve over cooked rice.

*Apple or cranberry juice can be substituted for the bourbon, but if using juice, use a little less brown sugar.
