Cooking tips 💡

• It's recommended to trim the soft bone from the chicken thigh meat with scissors before cooking, as it can be difficult to chew.
• Adding steak sauce gives the dish a rich, umami-packed flavor reminiscent of steak sauce, enhancing its gourmet appeal.
• Including 3 tablespoons of water in the seasoning prevents the sauce from burning during cooking and helps it coat the meat evenly.
• Cucumber should be dressed just before serving, as pre-mixing causes it to lose crispness and release excess moisture.
