2. Heat up frying pan or wok. Add peanut oil, sesame oil, crushed garlic and grated ginger. Fry breifly.
3. Drain chicken pieces , reserving the liquid, and add them to the pan a few at a time. Do this in batches so that they brown nicely.

Just the 2 of us around when I made this, so I cut the recipe in half, which gave us some very enjoyable leftovers for the next day! Served it with a mix of brown rice & peas for an enjoyable dinner! Really, really enjoyed the flavors you have in this chicken recipe, & I'll be making it again, for sure! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
