Another winner from the Charmain Solomon's massive work The Complete Asian Cookbook. Earlier this week, while I was making the Tea Eggs, I realized I needed to make something for dinner (we cannot survive on eggs alone...well, Julia could but Alex would mutiny) so I started flipping through the pages and found the perfect… Continue reading Shiu Ng Heung Gai (Oven-Roasted Spiced Chicken)
