Nota & Tips (Notes & Tips)
- Ayam Lembut: Jangan goreng ayam terlalu garing supaya isi ayam kekal lembut dan menyerap kuah.
(Tender Chicken: Do not over-fry the chicken so the meat stays soft and absorbs the gravy.) - Rahsia Kuah: Pastikan cili benar-benar pecah minyak untuk mengelakkan kuah rasa mentah dan sakit perut.
(Gravy Secret: Ensure the chili is thoroughly sautéed until the oil separates to avoid a raw taste and stomach upset.)
