0.5 cups bourbon whiskey to infuse a rich flavor, helping to tenderize the chicken
0.5 cups brown sugar adds sweetness that balances the savory notes from the soy sauce
0.33 cups soy sauce provides umami depth
0.25 cups apple cider vinegar brings a subtle tang
0.5 cups chicken broth keeps the chicken moist
3 cloves garlic, minced offers an aromatic kick
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated introduces warmth and spice

In a mixing bowl, whisk together bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth until the sugar dissolves. Add garlic and ginger.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or dish. Pour marinade over chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Remove chicken from marinade, keeping marinade for later. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
Cook chicken on griddle for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden-brown and reaches 165°F internal temperature.
Strain reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then whisk into boiling marinade. Cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Brush cooked chicken with thickened sauce and let rest for a few minutes.
Slice chicken, drizzle with additional sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Allow chicken to marinate for 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor. Preheat griddle properly for desired crust.
