The reason why your chicken is taking so long to cook could be they are being frozen before or not being defrosted properly. What I normally do with frozen chicken pieces are, defrost them, fry them with slow to medium fire and cook them again in the microwave for another 2 minutes. This will ensure all the bone areas are cooked thoroughly. Then as for the the sugar, I'm using the normal ones like what you are using too. Your wok must be hot after you have fried the curry leaves and chilies before pouring the sugar over. Then you have to quickly stir as they will melt and stick together. For this process, you have to work really fast or it will get burnt. When the sugar goes lumpy, you pour in the Nestun and continue to stir very quickly too. Then put in the chicken pieces and stir very fast and lift out once the Nestum has stick on the chicken. Normally for the extra yumminess, I will pour another 2 tbsp of Nestum on top before lifting them up so they will be really crispy when served. I do not use garlic in this recipe. So if you are using, the garlic could be really sticky when being fried. Also, make sure your chicken pieces are dry before pouring into the Nestum mixes or else it will make the whole dish really soggy! I hope you success in your next try! :) Hi Chris,

I've tried it out today but tak jadi leh... it took me 50min to "fry" and cook the chicken as i kept seeing the chicken blood. I used slow fire throughout as you mentioned and little oil (about 4 tbsp). In the end I turned to high flame and add some water to cook the chicken thoroughly. Secondly, after I pour in the brown sugar it didn't have signs of melting after 15 min. Instead the garlic, curry leaves were all burnt so I can't wait till the brown sugar "half melt" before I add the nestum. After adding the nestum, the yet-to-melt brown sugar became small, crystallised sugar bits so the sugar didn't actually get to mix well with Nestum.. By the way, the brown sugar I used is the CRS brand, not the Chinese brown sugar as we used in making ginger tea. Could you advise where had gone wrong? I really love this dish and would like to try again. Many thanks! Chris Hi Angeleyes! 1st of all thanks for sharing the recipe.

Nestum prawns is different from butter prawns. The recipes for butter prawns is by using beaten eggs that are being deep fried... if I'm not mistaken. Have yet to try that out! :P Welcome Juju!
