Flavors are great but we do not have a grill. I doubled the amount of marinade but used only 25 percent on the chicken which I placed in a zip lock bag to make more efficient use of the marinade. Stir fried the chicken (no need to blot dry) and then added the remaining marinade with 1 teaspoon corn starch. Served over rice.

Absolutely wonderful!!! We all loved this recipe it had so much flavour and the chicken was so tender. I skewered the chicken for ease of cooking but apart from that made as is and it was gorgeous. I will be making this often and can not believe no one has reviewed this yet. I served mine with egg and mushroom fried rice a Japanese recipe I have and it went perfectly. Huge thumbs up loved by all. Thanks Alskann for another winner

The top photo is my dd, Jacelyn aka FraggleJ and her two boys. She was expecting her daughter when the photo was taken. The other photo is Jacob & grandma :), both were taken last Saturday (03/29/08) while we were climbing a local butte. Those two little boys did an amazingly good job of hiking the steep trail (so did grandma!).
Food is my passion. I love to cook, I love to read recipes, I have hundreds of cookbooks. My favorite cookbook is Recipezaar! Since I joined in 2002 it has become the first place I go when looking for a recipe. Cooking is what I do for fun.
I love to travel! Not only do I get to see new places and meet interesting people - I get to try new food.
My other passions are my grandkids!!! Nothing beats grandmahood.
