Chinese Chicken Pancakes

I’ve been in experimentation mode with my Savoury Crepes. The kids LOVE them so I thought I’d start getting creative with fillings.

I had a flash reminder of Duck pancakes – you know – those awesome ones you get in restaurants. But I didn’t have duck.
Never fear – chicken drumsticks to the rescue!

Enjoy this simple and tasty marinade – add some extra heat with chilli if you so desire!
