Spicy Vinegar Chicken

Chef #1283098's Note:

I have always loved this dish, but hadn't tried making it myself until very recently. I remembered the taste from memory and used ingredients accordingly until i reached the desired taste. I was pleased with the end result. It is best when it is hot n' spicy.

This chicken dish is not really that hot or spicy, but very, very sour. As it's written, we were not able to eat it because of the sourness and I added some sugar to counter it. Once sugar was added to our taste - I can handle sour fine normally. I used all the ingredients stated but braised it for about 35 minutes to mellow the taste a bit. The braising mellowed the taste and made for good dish. Thank you Chef for posting. Made for Asian forum's unrated Asian recipe tag.
