Chop the chicken into small, manageable pieces. In a big basin, toss the chicken with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper until well covered.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it is quite hot. Place half of the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 6 minutes, rotating occasionally, until it is crispy, well-browned, and cooked through. To move the chicken to a plate, use a slotted spoon. Transfer to the same plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Put the skillet back on the medium burner. Cook the ginger and garlic in the skillet for approximately a minute. Add the apple juice, bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, crushed red chili flakes, and one cup of chicken stock. Mixing until well blended. Simmer for a while, stirring now and then, until reduced by about half.

In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon of chicken stock. Add to the skillet and mix thoroughly with a whisk. After bringing to a boil, simmer for one minute to thicken. To fully reheat and coat in sauce, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional one to two minutes.
