BBQ Basting Sauce - Oriental Ginger
"Quick, easy and makes for a great basting sauce when wanting something a touch different when grilling. Amazing how something so easily made makes for a crowd pleaser. I usually triple the recipe and when wanting a little spice I add some dried crushed chili peppers."

Delicious basted on chicken breast fillets and cooked on the barbie. Served with a garden salad on the side for a great dinner -
A really lovely great sauce! full of flavour - I used a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. I brushed some of the sauce on the chicken a few hours before hand. <br/>We barbecued it last night and it was served with potato salad and tossed salad. Thanks for posting! -
This was a delicious basting sauce. I basted a chicken breast over a hot barbecue (yes we are in the middle of winter and yes it was pouring rain) and it was yummy! The sauce was put together in a matter of seconds and the chicken was really tender. I served with with a bok choy and mushroom stir-fry and Recipe #371405. Thanks so much for posting your recipe Gerry -
Now that's what 'I'm talking about...a sauce that is quick and easy to throw together and you don't have to marinate the meat. I made the sauce exactly as written adding some freshly grated ginger and crushed red pepper flakes. I cooked chicken tenders on the grill, basting them until all the sauce was used up. I like to use chicken tenders because they cook faster and you don't have to worry about whether or not the middle of a chicken breast has cooked through. The flavors were sensational. The chicken tasted like it had been marinating all night. Thanks for sharing! Made for March, 2010 Aussie/NZ Swap. -
I really enjoyed the many flavours of this Oriental Ginger sauce. I used fresh ginger and added the crushed chilies and some garlic. I used the sauce to baste a chicken breast, bet it would be great on salmon steaks too!!

<p>I live in Saskatchewan where hospitality and food go hand in hand. Community suppers, Beef Pit Barbecues, Church suppers, potlucks, tea and bake sales, booths at the curling and hockey rinks in winter, the ball games in summer. What is truly the spirit of Saskatchewan is that these events are for most part the efforts of community volunteers sharing their time as well as their best make and takes. Small communities along with the larger centres across the province are well known for their turkey suppers, cabbage rolls, perogies and overflowing dessert tables. Homemade of course! <br /> <br />I love preparing meals for my family and friends and in the sharing of good recipes be they mine or that of another. My posted recipes are recipes that are family favorites. My reviews here on Zaar allow that I have been most fortunate in the choosing of the recipes I have made. Without doubt we all love those over the top desserts and dishes to serve on special occasions and for those fives are a given. For me equally important are the recipes used in the daily meal preparation. Recipes enjoyed by my family be it a simple soup, salad or casserole are right up there with the 'over the tops' and share equal billing. Yes five star ratings ... if my family enjoyed, I would serve to invited guests, take to a pot luck, coffee hour or bake sale. <br /></p>
<p>Aside from cooking and baking I admit that my interest in gardening exceeds that of the norm. I collect cookbooks, my favorites being the community and church cookbooks that have everyone sharing their favorite recipes. Enjoy yard sales on occasion but tend to keep my hands in my pockets, cannot completely resist when it comes to the glassware, baskets and of course cookbooks. I take great pleasure in reading with non fiction being my first choice when it comes to the choosing.</p>
