Critical Success Points

  • Caramelizing the brown sugar without burning it.
  • Ensuring the initial liquid evaporates before adding water – this builds flavor.
  • Cooking the chicken until tender but not shredding.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil and caramelized sugar can cause severe burns – keep a lid nearby.
  • Handle raw chicken with separate utensils and wash hands thoroughly to avoid cross‑contamination.
