For extra crispy broccoli, skip the microwaving step and roast for a few minutes longer. Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent burning. Adjust the amount of sambal oelek to suit your spice preference. A little goes a long way! Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the broccoli, such as bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots. If you don't have light brown sugar, you can use regular brown sugar or even a touch of honey.
