Notes

For the best flavor, you should make the chicken with a flavorful marinade. Adding salt will make the chicken taste bitter. However, salt should be a last-minute addition. The meat should be cooked all the way through. You can add other ingredients to the marinade if you want. There is no need to add sugar or salt to the sauce. Once the chicken is done, the sauce will become caramelized. You can serve it with rice or eat it with a spoon.
