Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use frozen chicken?
A: It's best to thaw chicken first for even cooking, but if using frozen, add an extra hour to cook time and make sure the internal temp reaches 165°F.
Q: Can I make this in an Instant Pot?
A: Yes! Pressure cook on HIGH for 10 minutes with a 5-minute natural release. Use the sauté function to reduce the sauce afterward.
Q: What side dishes go best with this?
A: Steamed rice, stir-fried veggies, garlic noodles, or an Asian-style slaw all pair wonderfully.
