Cooking tips
Do not substitute chicken breast for chicken thigh fillets - the fat is necessary for creating a delicious glaze.
Use regular soy sauce, dark is not suitable.
The sauce the chicken is cooked in is quite spicy, so you can use only part of it when serving. But don't throw away the rest—you can use it for cooking rice.
