Critical Success Points

  • Searing the chicken on a very hot pan to develop a deep char.
  • Avoiding burnt garlic by cooking aromatics only until fragrant.
  • Reducing the soy‑butter‑honey glaze to the right thickness.

Safety Warnings

  • The skillet will be extremely hot; use oven mitts when handling.
  • Hot oil can splatter when adding garlic; keep face away and add ingredients slowly.

The original low‑calorie hack from Japan is simple: mix biscuits with yogurt, let it set in the fridge for 4‑6 hours. This recipe follows the authentic method and also notes the over‑sweetened American adaptation that swaps yogurt for a tub of Philadelphia no‑bake cheesecake and adds extra sugar.
