Critical Success Points

  • Brown the chicken well without overcrowding the pan.
  • Do not burn the roux; stir constantly.
  • If sauce splits, add water and whisk over low heat to re-emulsify.
  • Simmer sauce until thickened, stirring frequently.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter; use caution when turning chicken.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to at least 74°C (165°F) internal temperature.
  • Handle hot pans and sauce with care.
