EZCR#116 - SPRING ONIONS GINGER SOY CHICKEN

Another easy and simple chicken dish.  Great soy sauce chicken to serve with blanched vegetables and a bowl of rice.

The spring onions are naturally sweet and fragrant sliced ginger blend well the meaty chicken whole leg.  Without much seasoning the chicken meat retains it natural sweetness and succulent though braised.

Awesome dish which I would love to prepare often.
