Recipe: Sweet & Spicy Chicken




Delicious chicken pieces in appetizing, dark brown sauce. Easy to make, always a hit!


Ingredients:
2 ponuds of chicken pieces (legs or thighs are best), skinned
3-4 green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tsp. shreded ginger root
4 minced garlic cloves
4 Tbs. c0oking oil

For the sauce:
4 Tbs. brown sugar
4 Tbs. honey
4 Tbs. dry white wine
4 Tbs. terryaki sauce
2 Tbs. vinegar
2 Tbs. sweet chili sauce
additional minced red hot chili peppers - according to taste (optional)

1 finely chopped green onion for garnish

How to make this recipe:
In a large cooking pot heat up oil. Add chicken pieces, onions, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until well blended, and add to the pot with the chicken.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot and cook over very low heat for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure all chicken pieces get covered with the sauce.

Chicken is ready when brown and tender. Arrange chicken pieces on a nice platter, pour some sauce on top and garnish with finely chopped green onion.

Serve remaining sauce on the side, with white rice or rice noodles.
Notes: Looks and tastes greats, suitable for festive meals or special occasions.
