Sweet Bean Sauce (Jiangbao) Chicken Recipe 🍗✨

[beni]

The autumn breeze always brings back sweet memories of cozy family dinners, where I first fell in love with Sweet Bean Sauce Chicken and hazelnut meringue. The combination of the sweet and salty flavors really stuck with me, and now I'm motivated to make that cozy meal again, but with my own unique twist. Eerily reminiscent of Peking Duck (北京烤鸭 běi jīng kɎo yā) sauce, this dish has an irresistibly sweet taste. Jiangbao sauce, a famous sweet bean paste flavoring from northern China, is used to make it. ε(´｡•᎑•`)っ
