This is a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it. The chicken was so soft and so tasty!
Layer it on top of quinoa and it looks amazing!

I’ve made a lot of chicken recipes, and we were blown away by this one. It is a bit labour-intensive but totally worth it.
I didn’t change the recipe at all besides for the sauce – it wasn’t thickening after boiling for about 10 mins and Shabbos was approaching, so I mixed another tsp of cornstarch with water and stirred that in, it thickened instantly.

I did find that it wasn’t as good the next day, the sauce had settled a bit and the chicken no longer had that full flavour.
I wonder if you can freeze the chicken after frying, and then make the sauce fresh before using it?

Also, are the amounts for the marinade correct? It makes a miniscule amount, I mixed it in with the chicken and you couldn’t even see it was there.
