Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the chicken (15 min) for tender and flavorful meat.
  • Prepare the sauce without lumps by dissolving the starch first.
  • Thicken the sauce properly: do not let it sit too long or it will become too firm.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with hot oil to avoid splatters.
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid slipping.
