Don't like Rumaki, made with chicken livers? This appetizer still has the bacon and water chestnuts-though minus the chicken liver-chicken cubes instead, in a delicious orange marmalade, soy sauce glaze-YUMMY. To save time marinate the wrapped chicken earlier in the day, then broil when ready to serve! The cook time is the marinade time.
