For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of butter at the end. If loquats are unavailable, try using apricots or plums as a substitute. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of your loquats. For added depth, marinate the chicken in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
