This is hands down an easy peasy family meal. Lightly coated fried chicken pieces simmered with apricot preserve, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil is absolutely lip smacking delicious 😋 I’ve served this dish with cooked jasmine rice. Increase the amounts to make this for multiple portions @sarchakra
