Notes
Uniqop’s Advice:
- Add 20 oz butter instead of vegetable oil to the sauce.
- You can serve this food with any kind of side garnish. French fries are the most delicious and most straightforward to make the garnish.
- If you do not like it juicy, you can fry the chickens at the end.
- In restaurants, this food is served without any garnish. It can be just chicken and rice.
