CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS
This recipe was featured on the Rhodes Around China TV series on the Hong Kong leg of the journey. Gary was taught to make these by a couple of local executive chefs. They are incredibly easy to put together, and very flavourful. I sometimes add bean sprouts and peas and corn and leave the meat out to make them vegetarian. Great as a snack, light meal or as part of a buffet. My family, especially the children, love them.
