Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a simple, homemade version of sweet-salty braised chicken at home.
  • People looking for a fail-safe recipe that works great as a child’s side dish or main course.
