Remove chicken meat from bone; pick meat apart into shreds.

Wash green onions; cut off roots and discard; shred green tops and whites.

Peel and slice fresh ginger root into thin matchsticks.

Rinse bean sprouts to remove any loose pieces.

Place bean sprouts and sliced pepper in colander in a larger bowl.

Pour boiling water over vegetables to cover.

Steep for 2 minutes.

Remove colander from hot water; flush vegetables with cold water.

Stir-frying: Heat oil in wok until it just begins to smoke.

Add chicken and ginger sticks; stir-fry another 30 seconds.

Push ingredients up side of wok.

Good As Gold Chicken (Like Kfc's and Boston's)

I went with suggestions from some of the other reviewers and used more honey (2 tablespoons) and a good bit of seasoned salt (1 teaspoon). The chicken was good, but the flavor was more subtle than I would have hoped. I also expected the sweet honey flavor to be more pronounced but it was the lime I could taste most. I was reminded more of a mild mojo flavoring than anything. I would have enjoyed something a bit more bold. As another reviewer suggested, soy sauce may be a good addition to this recipe. My girlfriend and I both still enjoyed this dish, I was just expecting something more.
