- Let the heat on slightly above medium and cook the chicken till the chicken starts to brown on the edges. This should take 2 to 3 mins.
- Then lower the heat and add the sauce mixture and mix well to coat the chicken.
- Bring the heat up to medium or even slightly more, and let the chicken cook for another few minutes.
- Make sure you do not overcook the chicken to avoid getting the chicken dry and chewy.
- You will notice the sauce has slightly thickened, switch off the heat(as the sauce will thicken after the chicken has cooled).

Notes:
Do not overcook the chicken. Preferably use chicken thigh meat as it won't get dry and hard if you happen to overcook it.
Before adding sauce to the pan cook chicken till the edges get slightly brown.
Adjust the sauce as per your personal liking. I have added hot sauce and red pepper flakes to give some spice to the sauce but you can skip this if you do not like spicy sauce.
You can use fresh parsley chopped instead of dried parsley flakes.
