Creamy Chinese Butter Chicken Creamy Chinese Butter Chicken
This we can guarantee very much authentic. Our #chinese #butterchicken tastes exactly like the one served in the restaurant (the way i remember it). This one is a #keeper.NOTE:1. Marinating is optional.2. Use equal ratio of flour, corn flour and rice flour depending on the size or amount of your chicken strips.3. Best use small chillies or bird eyed chillies. The amount of chillies is depending on how much heat one can take. The sauce however will balance the heat nicely.#heirloom #familyrecipe #protein #chicken #dinner #breakfast #yummy #tasty #lunch #cubedchicken #dicedchicken #ayam #ayambutter #restaurant #hawker #streetfood #brunch #homemade #chinesefood #chinese #asian Pinkblanket's Kitchen -
