CHICKEN SPARERIBS (ASIAN STYLE?)



Chicken Spareribs (Asian Style?) image

I got this recipe out of a TOH issue a couple years back. My two year old always calls it Chinese. This is very quick and very delicious. My kids just eat it up. I make it with rice (with added dried garlic, dried chives and garlic salt) with the extra sauce poured over it. Add any veggie to your liking. ** Sometimes I do need to double the cornstarch and water**

CHICKEN THIGH SPARERIBS(WELL, SORT OF, LOL)



Chicken Thigh Spareribs(well, sort of, lol) image

We love this chicken recipe. I don't know who it's from, but it's on a worn piece of paper in my recipe box. Very tasty, and so easy. The sauce gets thick and coats the chicken so nicely. You can control the heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of pepper flakes. I also like to add more garlic, about 5 cloves total. Great with rice and a steamed veggie, and the kids like it too.
