If you didn’t already guess from the picture, here is another amazing Chinese recipe, garlic ginger chicken. Just like the name says, this dish gets a lot of its flavor from fresh garlic and ginger. The chicken bits are coated with a batter and then fried in the deep fryer until crispy. The sauce is very simple, just basically rice wine, soy sauce and sugar. If you want to add a little heat to this dish, you can add some dried red pepper flakes. This is a very easy recipe that takes little time to prepare. Enjoy.

    I made this for some friends a few days ago, and they were very impressed. One of my friends bookmarked your site because of this chicken :D

    Since I don’t have a deep fryer, I put some oil in my skillet and fried the chicken in it, which I have done for all the other fried chicken and beef recipes I have tried from this site.

    I must also say that this is probably the most delicious dish I have ever prepared in my life. Thanks!
