Critical Success Points
- • Prepare and blend the natural spice mix thoroughly.
- • Steam chicken without adding water to develop a rich stock.
- • Cook tomato paste and stew base until oil separates and flavors are deep.
- • Wash rice until water runs clear to prevent sticky rice.
- • Simmer rice on low-medium heat and avoid stirring too often to prevent mushiness or burning.
Safety Warnings
- • Use caution when handling hot oil and air fryer/oven.
- • Wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
- • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
