Cooking tips 💡

• Using black sugar in the soy-based braising sauce enhances depth of flavor and gives the dish a rich, glossy sheen.
• Be sure to wipe away all oil from the pan after searing so the sauce adheres well to the meat instead of floating on top.
• For serving with rice, turn off the heat when the sauce is still slightly moist; for enjoying the chicken as the main focus, cook until completely dry and concentrated.
