If you do not know how to cook, stop scrolling. I have something to tell you. Buy chicken thighs or drumsticks. Cut them into tiny strips. Season them with salt and pepper. Fry them on high heat for minutes on each side. Add sweet soy, bbq sauce , sweet chilli. Get store bought roti and cook in in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side. I would now to like to officially congratulate you for learning how to cook in less than one minute. 

This is one of those ‘broke-but-boogie’ recipes. That means it doesn’t require elaborate ingredients to elicit a gourmet restaurant ambiance and taste. Lunch, dinner, lunchboxes, this crispy skillet-fried sweet soy chicken belongs anywhere and everywhere!

Recipe Notes

• Chicken: I used chicken thighs for this recipe, but chicken drumsticks would be a stellar substitute. Chicken steak would be a definite no for this once, because of the lower fat content which will result in the chicken not crisping like chicken thighs or drumsticks when thinly cut.
• Pan and heat: An iron cast skillet for this recipe + high heat = master chef shenanigans guaranteed
• Oil: A light drizzle is all you need. The fat in the chicken will melt hence excess cooking oil would just make the chicken soggy. You could get away with not using any oil at all.
• Sides: lettuce, carrot sticks, fresh cucumbers, red onion are all great options. They will make the meal feel complete.
• Sauces: No you may not substitute sweet soy sauce for regular soy sauce in this recipe. Think of that as substituting sugar for salt.
