Firecracker Chicken Recipe    

This recipe comes from a loyal reader and friend here on SDR.  Lori S. is a happily married wife, and mother of two teens.  She keeps very busy serving her family as well as, several ministries in her community.  When she finally sits down to take a break, I like catching up with her on Facebook.  Lori sent this recipe to me the other day and it sounded so good, I figured you might want to give it try it as well.

My family and I are going ethnic this spring and summer and exposing ourselves to new cultures and foods-within a limit of course-each week as time and funds permit we will try a new dish from another country-this week its Thailand or Asian and we are making Firecracker Chicken for dinner-its a bit spicy but I am hoping my family will enjoy it. We will also be going across the globe-my son has an actual one in his room and taking a trip around the world this season as we explore each country and the food that makes it onto plates there. Its going to be a fun journey!

Amazingly, this recipe also tastes fantastic as straight-out-of-the-fridge leftovers.
