2. If using an oven, preheat it to 230 degrees. Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake the chicken for about 25 minutes. If the sauce starts to burn, add a few tablespoons of water to the dish. Remove the lid or foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the crust becomes crispy.
