Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, use organic produce and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a nonstick pan: A nonstick pan will help prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and syrupy: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, so that it coats the chicken well. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and crispy.
