01 -

Seven ingredients transform into something that tastes like you spent hours simmering and perfecting
The sauce hits that perfect balance where you want to drink it straight from the spoon

02 -

The sauce will look thin at first but keep cooking, it suddenly thickens in the last couple minutes
Cast iron holds heat better than stainless steel and gives you those nice crispy edges

03 -

Cut your chicken into uniform pieces so everything finishes cooking at the same time
Have your ingredients prepped before you start cooking because this moves fast once the pan is hot
