However, the breading was thick to the point of covering for chicken which was, in places, rather small or stringy. The chicken itself was coated in thick, very crunchy breading, which made for an enjoyably novel texture. While vegetables bring much to the dish, not just any vegetables are needed.
There were also, frankly, far too many of them for the flavour they brought to the table. The vegetables weren’t particularly fresh, nor flavourful. The vegetable mix was a standard green pepper, onion, and carrot mix, but I came through rather underwhelming. The sauce was also quite generously applied, perfect for soaking chicken pieces and pouring over rice. The spicy was relatively mild, and despite the smoky, slightly barbecue-y flavour, there wasn’t a hint of the dreaded ketchup scent.
The sauce was on the smoky/spicy side of the flavour triangle, without a hint of sweetness.
A small restaurant located just off of the subway line, I hit up Golden House for a quick fix on my way home one day, and inevitably checked out the chicken.
