   Add cooled boiled water to just cover the chicken wings, then add cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce later for better flavor.

   Step 9

   Due to time constraints, I kept the heat high the whole time, as there wasn't enough time for the sauce to thicken further. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until the sauce reduces. Stir frequently during cooking, as the added cornstarch makes it prone to burning.
