Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never keep the heat on while tossing the chicken—doing so will burn the sugar in the sauce, making it bitter and sticky.
  • For a stronger sweetness, you can add a bit more sugar or honey during cooking to suit your taste.
  • Avoid stirring too long after adding the chicken—overmixing will make the coating soggy; quick, efficient tossing is essential.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the addictive sweet-savory flavor of popular franchise-style soy sauce chicken at home.
  • Those looking to transform leftover fried chicken into a luxurious, non-soggy sweet-savory dish.
