Fried Chicken with Sweet Soy Sauce
As usual, Monday and Tuesday are my “anything what I want to do day before 3 PM”. And as usual, I do my uninterrupted weekly groceries shopping day. Now I could understand why girls and women enjoy their shopping so much. You really could find the pleasure of being free and buy anything that you want. Except in my case, I do that for my household and kitchen groceries not clothes and any other women stuffs. No offense girls, I never seem to enjoy clothes and women accessories shopping. I could hold on to my old clothes and not buying new stuffs until they just give up on me.
Back to the chicken wing journey from Woolworths to my kitchen. Woolworths sold this bulk pack of chicken wings which sounds economical and ended up me on buying them. I had no idea at that time what I am going to do with them. I thought just buy them first and figure it out later what I can do with them. Anyway, I ended up making this dish because it was almost 2 o’clock in the afternoon and I had to pick up my toddler at kindy. I need something quick and easy for my lunch and there was it Fried Chicken with Sweet Soy Sauce.
If you would like to share this dish with the little one, don’t slice the chillies up. Leave them as whole, so the adult could still enjoy the spiciness of the chillies on their own plate.
