I think you all have been seeing alot of chicken recipes. Here, fishes are not always fresh, beef are expensive & so is pork. I don't take mutton and hence, chicken is always part of our meals. Everytime, I'm trying to make all the chicken dish that I cook to be creative n delicious, so that we would not have the feeling of "CHICKEN AGAIN!!??" kind of thoughts. :p

2pcs chicken thighs (remove skin)

1tsp ginger slices
4tbsp "Chinkiang" brand black vinegar
