Delicious chicken!

Tried this in Korean restaurant before, husband and kids ask for this dish almost every week! Best to marinate for a while ( roughly 5-6 hours) and I added a little sesame oil, mince ginge, Maggi sauce and a bit more spicy sauce. Recently cook this for pot luck party, chicken disappeared real fast! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Lisa www.bakingfrenzy.com
