These are a favorite of our house. They are even better cold. I substitute brown sugar for the white, I also add fresh chopped garlic and fresh chopped ginger instead of the powder, you can also add honey to make them sweeter.

Always a favorite. I've made this on many occasions. Easy to prepare. Great presentation. Works well as a main dish for an informal lunch or picnic along with simple leafy salad and white wine. Guest gobble them up.

Yumm, a very nice change from Hot Wings. I added some minced garlic and used brown sugar. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
