This is a traditional Taiwanese dish that we always order in our favorite Chinese restaurant. I begged the chef for this recipe and he very reluctantly gave it to me! I just made it for dinner tonight and couldn't wait to post this to share it with all of you!

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would add more liquid to the pan next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
