Not so sugary
This happened seven years ago on Valentine’s Day. I was planning to surprise my then girlfriend by cooking her a dish called chicken in milk. It called for the use of salt, but I accidentally ended up adding castor sugar in its place. So when she got home and I pulled the pan out of the oven, instead of a a crisp golden skin, I got a blackened, intensely caramelised chicken. There was no saving it.
