Chicken with Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce

So for dinner I tried out this recipe on Angie's Recipes(Awesome site, you should check out all her lovely recipes!) I bought some Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce at a closing down sale of an Asian Grocery a few weeks ago, even though I had no use for it. Yes, if I see the word sale, I will buy anything =P When I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it!

No regrets there because it was delicious! If you are up for sticky sweet caramelised goodness, you should make this dish! =D Okay. I just realised my last 239232 sentences had exclamation marks in them. Yes, it makes me this excited =X
It tastes just like something you would have at an authentic Chinese restaurant. Oh it was so good that I wish I had cooked more =X Here is the recipe from her website:
