Satya made this amazing delicious dish this weekend before I scurried out the door for a day of photo shoots with a bunch of local photographers. I love when Satya cooks! It means that I get a break and his creativity in the kitchen simply amazzzeess me! He’s definitely my kitchen hero any day of the week especially when the clean up of dishes is included. 
What is so beautiful about this delish dish is that it can be eaten as an appetizer or a main course. Don’t you love dual purpose dishes?
These bite size chicken pieces are bursting with flavor. Add all the good stuff like ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili sauce, shallots, green onions and combine them all together and start imagining a taste that’s going to make your mouth beg for more.
