Honey Glazed Char Siu Chicken Roll
Honey Char Siu Chicken Roll
Spend just 13 yuan on 2 chicken legs for this recipe: season with Lee Kum Kee char siu sauce and other basic condiments, marinate for 24 hours, then roast for 30 minutes to make over 500g of beautifully colored char siu chicken roll. The meat is tender, fragrant, and has a sweet, appetizing flavor – my family loved it so much they offered to take a taxi over to try it! It’s simple to prepare, uses quality, genuine ingredients at an extremely low cost, contains no added artificial ingredients or preservatives, and is safe and healthy to eat. I’ll never buy pre-made char siu chicken rolls from the supermarket again!
