Braised Ginger Chicken with Dried Oysters

When I looked at the picture of this dish in the food magazine, I thought it must be difficult to prepare.  But it wasn't so.  This dish is very easy to prepare yet really tasty and delicious serve with steaming hot rice.  The dried oysters enhanced the flavour, taste and fragrance of this dish.
