Dragon Chicken

The name itself symbolise something different, Isn't it? It's a spicy chicken dry dish which is very delicious. It is a Chinese dish but I have customised this by giving an Indian flavour. Chicken tossed in sauces gives that a red appealing colour. This can be served as a starter or as a main dish.
