Cantonese chicken is one of the easiest chicken you could ever make. It tastes delicious with rice, noodles or fried rice. It is sweet and salty and tastes so delicious.
I tasted this chicken in a restaurant and it was served over a bed of rice. I enjoyed it so much, I thought of recreating it at home. I searched online and the recipe was pretty simple and basic.
