It’s not often that you get a comment from a family member that states that a meal you prepared, is better than take-away!
Especially, when you’ve got hungry mouths to feed, and, when everyone is just at that point that they just want something that is going to fill their bellies and, more importantly, something that they don’t have to wait around for.ย My Korean BBQ Chicken Fried Rice is the just that meal and, with a few easy hacks, you can have it on the table faster than ordering take-away, and waiting for a delivery!
What makes this dish special is, in my opinion, the Korean BBQ Sauce.ย It has just the right balance of sweet, salty and spicy that infuses the already succulent roast chicken.ย Throw in the crunchy fried rice and a few herbs and vegetables and you’ve got yourself one very tasty meal.
