Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the chicken with fish sauce ensures early flavor penetration.
  • Simmering the bone‑in chicken long enough extracts a rich stock.
  • Adding potatoes at the right time prevents them from becoming mushy.
  • Stirring gently after adding tomatoes preserves their shape.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the boiling broth carefully to avoid splashes and burns.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
