About

Ginger is one of the most popular and appetizing seasonings, and deservedly so. In this light but rich tasting sauce, very much in the Thai style, the distinctive zest of the ginger shines through and enhances the delicate flavour of tender chicken.

This appealing dish makes a lovely opener for any meal or a snack to have with drinks. Breaded, pan-fried and served with this sweet and tangy sauce, the chicken morsels are a special treat.
