Steamed Herbal Chicken Drumlets

Let's have some nourishing chicken dish tonight! Sweet and rich herbal flavour which I could not resist drenching my bowl of hot rice with the herbal broth. Love the idea of removing the skin of the chicken drumlets as this greatly reduce the oiliness of this dish and I can slurp down all the nourishing broth without feeling any guilt. ^0^
