Critical Success Points

  • Slice chicken uniformly to ensure quick, even cooking
  • Achieve a light, sparse coating; avoid heavy batter
  • Heat oil fully before adding chicken to get crispness
  • Fry on high flame for only 1‑1.5 minutes per side to keep meat juicy
  • Cook garlic only until light golden; over‑browning changes flavor
  • Add cornstarch slurry gradually to control sauce thickness
  • Toss chicken in sauce on high heat for a glossy coating

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – handle with care and keep a lid nearby
  • Butter can burn quickly; keep heat at medium when melting
  • Use a sharp knife cautiously when slicing chicken
