Critical Success Points

  • Sauté the onions until they are tender.
  • Cook the sauce over very low heat after adding the peeled tomatoes to prevent it from sticking.
  • Reheat the KFC chicken without boiling it to preserve its tenderness.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with hot oil to avoid splatters.
  • Let the blended tomatoes cool slightly before adding them to the pot to avoid hot liquid splatters.
  • Handle the already cooked chicken with clean utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
