   Brown chicken

   Increase to medium heat and turn chicken for 5 minutes until the surfaces change colour.

   Simmer

   Add soy sauce, wine or its water replacement, measured water, and sugar. Cover and simmer 15–20 minutes until chicken reaches 74°C.

5. 05

   Finish with basil

   Uncover and reduce until lightly coated. Stir in basil for 30 seconds and remove from heat.
