Chinese plum chicken
Juicy chicken legs are baked in a rich, sweet and tangy plum sauce accented with fresh ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. Served over steamed rice with crisp broccoli and fresh coriander, it makes a wholesome and vibrant dinner. Prepare the sauce slightly in advance to let the fruity and savoury flavours deepen.
