Important Notes
Pounding the chicken with a bottle or similar tool breaks down the fibers, making the meat very tender and ensuring even cooking. 💡
To fully utilize the chicken fat, start cooking in a cold frying pan without adding any oil. 🍳
Although salt is the only seasoning, the combination of the glutamic acid in the cherry tomatoes and the inosinic acid in the chicken creates a deep richness without needing extra stock. ⚠️
