Pairing with rice is ideal, as it absorbs the delicious sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but you may need to adjust the cooking time to ensure it's thoroughly cooked. Bone-in pieces could take an additional 10-15 minutes. Just be sure to check that the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
What can I substitute for sesame oil?
If you don't have sesame oil, you can use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil. For a hint of flavor, you might add a few drops of toasted sesame oil at the end of cooking. This will help mimic the nutty taste that sesame oil provides.
Is this dish spicy?
The level of spiciness depends on the amount of red pepper flakes used. If you're sensitive to heat, start with less and adjust to your taste. The sugar in the recipe helps to balance the spiciness, making it pleasantly flavorful rather than overwhelmingly hot.
