Bourbon Chicken Bites

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch chunks

1/4 cup canola oil

1 cup jalapeno pepper jelly

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

2 tablespoons bourbon

In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic

powder, ground red pepper, and salt; add the chicken and toss to coat well.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the coated chicken in
batches and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and no pink remains,
stirring frequently. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring the jelly, soy
sauce, and bourbon to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or
until the jelly has melted, stirring constantly. Add the chicken and toss to
coat. Serve hot.
