Notes
- Brine the chicken in saltwater before marinating with sauce. It will make juicy and tender chicken breast and will not be dried off during eating.
- If you are taking frozen chicken then make sure the chicken is at room temperature.
- Don't cook the sauce for a long time otherwise, the sauce will burn due to the caramelization of honey.
- Avoid adding water to the sauce.
- As we are adding soya sauce which is salty in taste so monitor the quantity of salt.
- Soya sauce and vinegar make the best taste so don't skip it. It will give your better flavor in the sauce.
- If chicken breast is thick then give it more time to simmer.
- It's recommended to fry the chicken breast on high heat. It will make the chicken more delicious and juicy.
