Stuff to know
This quantity will feed about 50 people.
Do not overcook the chicken or it will be dry.
Use the spices according to personal taste.
If the sauce is too thin, mix some corn starch with cold water and add that to the sauce. It will thicken when boiling again. The amount of corn starch will determine how thick the sauce is.
