Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never add jujube syrup at the beginning—doing so causes the sauce to burn easily. Always add it at the final stage to prevent burning and achieve a glossy, sweet finish.
  • Adding cola to the marinade or sauce makes the meat even more tender and enhances a subtle sweetness and deep umami flavor.
  • Half a spoon of curry powder effectively removes the gamy smell and greasy taste of chicken, delivering a clean, non-overpowering flavor that’s satisfying without being heavy.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a special, delicious homemade chicken dish instead of ordering chicken delivery.
  • People looking to delight both kids and adults with a subtly spicy, sweet-and-salty flavor that hits all the right notes.
