      I found this information on Google. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Convert the Crock-Pot cooking time for low settings. If a dish requires cooking in a Crock-Pot on the low setting for 4 to 8 hours, it will usually only require 30 to 45 minutes in the regular oven. For items that take 6 to 10 hours in the Crock-Pot on the low setting, plan on cooking in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes.

      Not sure how accurate this is. Be sure to keep an eye on it.

    My wife made this tonight. Started off great. Well written, solid method, tasted during cooking and was pleased. Then the wife added the required amount of corn starch. A 1/4 cup!?!? Totally ruined it. Dish ended up tasting like someone put soap in it. That much corn starch can thicken a gallon of sausage gravy. The best thing would be to leave out the corn starch and let the sauce reduce and thicken naturally.

    Im sitting here giggling away at everyone who is mad at the name of the dish. And the lack of bourbon. This is a well known dish. And popular at chinese restaurants. Its from a chinese chef working on Bourbon street who came up with the dish. Its not like the authors of this blog just randomly created and then poorly named this dish to try and confuse people lol. They were just recreating a very well known dish! Which never has bourbon in it ;) :)
