Today my son became a “Spice Guy”! Ha. He made this Easy Chicken Fried Rice recipe for us for dinner and it was FABULOUS!!! Of course he adapted the recipe from one he found on the internet. He used the recipe from therecipecritic.com website and added chicken and doubled it to make it not just a side dish but a meal in itself. I was pretty proud of his cooking skills! It goes to show that sometimes a good recipe can always work no matter who makes it! Thanks son!!We love to order Chinese Food around our house and this Chicken Fried Rice definitely met up to the competition. It is just as good or better than the stuff you can order at your local Chinese restaurant.
