"From Parade Magazine, May 16, 1999. I had this in my recipe box all this time and never got around to making it. It's got OJ and lemon juice too, soy sauce, garlic, ginger...an Asian style. Marinate overnight to get full flavor."

This was a delicious recipe. I used chicken breasts and then marinated them over night. The flavor was soo good. Next time though, I think I will make a separate batch of the marinade and try reducing it so I can glaze the chickens as they cook.

Our family loved this. The taste of ginger made it different than things I usually cook.
