Stir Fried Garlic Chicken
This is a great way to prepare chicken in a Chinese style. The slow simmering in rice wine and chicken stock makes it extra tender with a good garlicky flavour. Serve with rice.

- 2 tablespoons plain flour

My husband is chinese so we have the Shiao hsing on hand at all times. I add minced garlic at the same time as the whole cloves. I also add chopped zucchini the last 5 minutes or so to have a vegetable in it. - 01 Oct 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This recipe was very good, but I feel like it was missing something. I added a few small minced shallots, minced some of the garlic and increased the amounts of the soy sauce and sherry a bit. Overall, very good and I will certainly be making again. - 31 Jul 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was awesome! My family loved it, and my husband said it was almost as good as when he gets it at our favorite Chinese place! - 22 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
