Fried chicken thighs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can buy boneless chicken thighs or remove the bones yourself; be sure to trim off the skin and cut the meat into small pieces. It's best to eat this dish right away, while the chicken is still hot. If the marinade seems too spicy for your taste, simply omit the ginger. Serve hot.
