Description[]
Similar to the barbecue chicken packed with real barbecue sauce, this oriental, bold poultry dish is made with real herbs and spices, enhanced with fish sauce, and grilled to red-hot perfection, as it is great with over rice or other main dishes and keeps a tangy aroma with the poultry and condiments.
