Recipe Tips
- If you have the time, then marinating the chicken in the sauce will help increase the amount of flavor in the chicken. Personally, I would marinate it overnight if you have the time, but a few hours should be more than enough.
- You can thicken the sauce up with some cornstarch if you prefer a thicker sauce. Just mix the cornstarch with some water before adding it to the sauce. One tablespoon of cornstarch should be more than enough.
- An alternative to pan-frying is to do the chicken in the oven instead. Simply preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and cook the chicken with the sauce poured over it. It should be ready within thirty to forty-five minutes.
- This dish can also be cooked in the slow cooker if you want to get it cooking early in the morning.
