Notes
Currently, I am not consuming any sugar or oil. Therefore, I cook the chicken in butter, skipping the sesame oil and honey. Similarly, you can play around with spices by adjusting paprika or the amount of garlic for the desired flavor. Make adjustments according to your dietary preferences and enjoy!
