How people cook with it
This sauce is perfect for adding a finishing touch to your chicken meals. It can be used as a marinade or a glaze.

- Sauce for chicken stir-fries
To use this sauce as a glaze, brush it generously over chicken during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. For marinating, pour the sauce over chicken pieces and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before cooking. It can also be heated and served as a dipping sauce alongside cooked chicken. The sauce caramelizes nicely when exposed to heat, creating a beautiful, flavorful crust on the meat.
