Quick, easy with fabulous results. I served this over a salad of greens, broccoli slaw mix, almonds and sesame stix with an oriental vinaigrette. Delicious!

This is a great marinade. I will use low sodium soy salt next time as I found it a bit salty. I could smell the bourbon in the marinade, but couldn't taste it in the chicken. So I may increase that a bit next time. The ginger and garlic are spot on, and it smelled so good while cooking on the grill. My neighbors had to ask what I was grilling! Thanks for sharing!
