For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have bourbon on hand, you can substitute it with apple juice or chicken broth, but the bourbon adds a distinctive flavor. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. For a complete meal, serve with steamed broccoli or a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
