FAQs
1. Can I use bone-in or boneless chicken for this recipe?
Bone-in chicken is recommended for better flavor and moisture. Boneless will work, but cook time will be significantly shorter.
2. What if I don't have all the spices listed? Can I substitute?
You can substitute some spices, but the flavor profile will change. Try to find as many of the listed spices as possible for the best results. Fish sauce is crucial for the umami flavor.
3. How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear when pierced with a knife.
