6. Add 1 tsp red chilli flakes and sauté for 30 seconds

8. Add 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp chilli sauce and 1 tsp sugar and mix well. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces and thickens
9. Add 1 tsp lemon juice and salt if needed. The stock and chicken are already salted so add only after tasting
10. Add the fried chicken and toss until all the pieces are well coated
11. if you want more sauce, add cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch+1/4 cup water) and simmer until it thickens
12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with rice/quinoa/bread and veggies of your choice

You list in the marinade “chilli” powder, which translates in the U.S. as taco powder. Do you mean, spicy “cayenne pepper”? Also, what “dried herbs” do you mean? Also, what do you mean by “chilli sauce”? Is that “hot sauce”?

[Funky_Brother]

Can I use plain water instead of stock or bullion?

It tastes more sweet than spicy. Misleading caption

Ok, when it starts becoming more about producing a video than demonstrating a good recipe I lose interest real quick as my anecdotal experience is that they are almost always mediocre recipes at best. I don’t need to see all the prep work and slow motion stirring chicken. Learn to use a mise en place! It keeps your production moving along without all the tedious work of cooking we all already know how to do.
