Preheat the oven to 350. Butter the pan and set aside. Stir together the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and beat until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla, salt and bourbon. Add the flour and beat vigorously until thick and shiny. Add the chocolate and pecans. Pour into the prepared pan, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool. Slice. Serve.
