Gingery Fried Chicken Appetizer image

Every once in awhile one has to indulge that craving for fried...From Quick and Simple magazine, July 2006. The original recipe deep fries the chicken but since I don't own a deep fryer I pan fried the chicken instead. This is great with plum sauce! (I wonder what this would be like with tofu...??)
