Dad’s Chinese Chicken and Chestnuts
Comments (6) 
Chinese chicken and chestnuts is one of our favourites of my Dad’s dishes. It’s sweet, but savoury, fragrant with ginger and sherry but dark with soy, unctuous and delicious. I am talking about the meal, you understand – not my Dad, because frankly, that would be a bizarre description of someone.
He was born in Shanghai and is part Chinese, so has a wide range of dishes in his repertoire – do feel free to request recipes for any of your favourites. If he has a recipe for it, he will have to cook it for us in order that I can blog it. This means we will get to eat it, so please… request away!
As he was the star chef at Chez Jones last Sunday, I am immortalising him and his unctuous chicken on this blog. So here is the Fred Jones guide to this beautiful Chinese dish.
