Made the Chinese Simmered Chicken recipe I got off the Foster Farms whole
chicken wrapper back in 1987. Funny thing is I think the same recipe is on
the chicken these days. I make mine with cut up chicken so much better.
Always have to make it with the green onions and toasted sesame seeds or
it's just isn't as good. Chinese Simmered Chicken, Steamed rice made with chicken broth
and steamed broccoli - Lynne

Lynne, Foster Farms chicken is not available where I am, could you
please post this recipe just the way you make it with cut up chix,
scallions and toasted seeds?
Thank you ever so...PickyJaz
