East Inspired Plum Chicken

In most Asian cuisines you can find chicken cooked in a plum or sticky tangy sauce. And although each country has their own version of these dishes which are all tasty, the best version is actually created when you combine the common ingredients into one pan. Creating an fruited chicken which is sweet and tangy.
