Directions:
In a large, heavy pot, over medium heat, add the oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, sear the beat on all sides. Add onions, garlic, red pepper and 1/2 to 1 cup bourbon. Cover with water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until tender, about 3 hours.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. During the last 1-1/2 hours of cooking, add the chicken, remove the meat, chicken and vegetables from pan. Discard the vegetables. Add remaining vegetables and brown sugar to the pot of hot liquid. Continue to cook for 1 hour.

After the meat has cooled, cube the beef into 1-inch pieces. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and discard. Dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add the cubed meat and chicken (and 1/2 cup bourbon if desired) to the vegetables, continue to cook for 30 minutes.
