A FRIEND'S CHICKEN

This chicken dish is my close friend's very own creation years ago. It is a very simple dish, aromatic, full of flavours and healthy.
All you need to do is just to marinate the chicken, wrap it up in aluminium foil and bake in the oven or grilled over a BBQ stove or steamed until cooked. The ginger,garlicky flavours are all sealed up in the package. No water is added, the juices are from the chicken and sauces.

We will prepare this whenever we have a BBQ gathering and it is always a hit with guests.
