Important Notes
Rubbing sugar in first provides a moisture-retaining effect, resulting in meat that is incredibly tender and juicy. ✨
By spreading out the skin and pan-frying slowly over medium-low heat, you can render out excess fat while achieving a crispy, crunchy texture. 🍳
Wiping the pan clean of excess oil before adding the sauce prevents the sauce from separating, allowing it to coat the chicken beautifully. 💡
Since butter burns easily, be sure to add it at the very end and incorporate it quickly using residual heat to enhance the aroma. ⚠️
