Kosher Richmond Style Chicken

Submitted by Feral Grandpa

"This is a recipe that can be cooked on a BBQ or in the oven. I created it using local ingredients; there are strong Asian influences here, but I would not classify it as exclusively Asian. Cuisine in the Vancouver area represents a fusion of tastes and ideas from all over the World; equally identified as traditional yet unorthodox. The variety and quality of exotic and familiar ingredients available here is mind boggling; a constant challenge to venture outside of known territory."
