Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for tender, flavorful meat.
  • Cook the chicken without burning to keep a juicy texture.
  • Sauté the onions until translucent, otherwise they will stay crunchy.
  • Blend the hot sauce carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Incorporate the butter and cream over low heat to achieve a silky sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Beware of hot oil splatters when cooking the chicken.
  • Use kitchen gloves when handling the hot pot.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.
  • Do not let the spices burn, they can become bitter.
