“Mine also came out very watered down. I regret the chicken broth. The color of the sauce wasn't nearly as thick or carmelized as it appears in the pictures. Do you put the chicken in the pot skin down? Because my chicken thighs were pale yellow when they finis” — a cook, 3.0★
“Absolutely delicious! I did need to cook the sauce 3 more intervals of two minutes each before the magic happened.” — a cook, 5.0★
