Chin's notes: 

1. There will be some gravy from the chicken. If more gravy is preferred, add some water & some soy sauce & adjust the taste accordily. 

2. These are also yummy to go with cooked egg noodles. 

3. Don't throw away the ginger after you taken the juice. Add them to the chicken as marinade. Best if they are fried with garlic before the chicken.
