"Closed lid" , chop for 5 seconds speed 5 (MC ON)Add the Red Onion to the bowl
"Closed lid" , chop for 7 seconds, speed 5 (MC ON)Add the butterfly, ensuring it is DEFINITELY secured correctly. If it is not secured, the butterfly may come out during the cooking process.
Add the Chicken, Brown Sugar, Kecap Manis, Light Soy Sauce, Water, Rice Wine Vinegar, Oyster Sauce, Star Anise, Cinnamon Sticks and Black Pepper to bowl.
"Closed lid" .Cook for 60 minutes, 100 degrees, Reverse
"Counter-clockwise operation" Low Speed 
"Gentle stir setting" with MC OFF.It is at this point I place the simmering basket on top to avoid splatters.
Once complete, the sauce should have thickened and the Chicken cooked though and tender.

Method
Tip
The Butterfly is used to stop the chicken being shredded during the cooking process.
I usually stop cooking once the sauce has thickened and changed to a dark colour.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

This was one of my first in my Thermie and it was delicious - but I did find that we liked it with more brown sugar added - ha and that was only by accident as I was only making a half batch but still put full amount of sugar - was yummy though
Absolutely Delicious. We gave this a 10/10.
Definitely on my menu plan. Loved it
