chicken – 2.9 – 3.3 lbs
sugar – 2 tablespoons
soy sauce – 100-150 ml (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup)
oil – 200 ml (about 3/4 cup)
salt – 1/2 teaspoon
boiling water – 1 liter (about 4 cups)
Cut the chicken or fillet into serving pieces, pour soy sauce over it, and refrigerate for several hours, preferably for a whole day or overnight. In a deep skillet with a thick bottom, pour in oil to a depth of about 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) and heat it well over high heat. Add the sugar and stir until it melts and turns golden brown. Place the chicken in the skillet and fry for 5-7 minutes. Pre-boil the water, then pour the boiling water over the chicken until it is completely submerged. Add salt. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the water has evaporated.
