Quick and easy meal when your in a hurry. I know the idea of cranberries and BBQ sauce together does not sound very good but these 2 flavors really do compliment each other in this recipe. I have also used pork when making this dish.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Thickened: The sauce for this dish should be thick and glossy. If it's too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water).
  • Add Some Heat: If you like your food spicy, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve Over Rice or Noodles: This dish is traditionally served over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
