Chinese Spicy Chicken

Chinese Spicy Chicken or Le Tze Gee to use the ethnic title, is a dish that will challenge your taste with subtle hints of spice rather than heavy doses of it. Some spicy dishes are too heavy in one spice or another and that overpowers all other tastes. Chinese are far more subtle in their use of spices and when this dish is prepared properly, your taste buds are invaded with a variety of subtle tastes that combine to make this one of the best Chinese chicken recipes.
