Plum in the Chicken, yes you read it right it is Plum Chicken, full of flavors, sweet, sour, spicy, tangy actually with each bite of chicken all those spices with plum create a medley of flavors in your mouth and you end up licking your fingers or I should frame it this way it is finger licking good. Inspiration for this plum chicken comes from caramelized duck I tasted in Hong Kong, which is quite a popular dish in the menu of most of the restaurants.
