Critical Success Points

  • Soak the bamboo skewers to prevent them from burning.
  • Marinate the chicken long enough for the flavors to penetrate.
  • Cook the chicken to 75°C to ensure food safety.
  • Do not let the sauce caramelize excessively to avoid bitterness.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with gloves or separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Watch out for splattering hot oil during cooking.
  • Use tongs to turn the skewers to protect your hands from the flame.
