"Great as a main meal with some rice and veges or as a fingerfood appetizer. Use a gluten-free soy sauce if cooking gluten-free (Aussies- Chang's brand is currently gluten-free). Bottled crushed ginger can be used in place of the fresh grated ginger. Bamboo skewers should be soaked in water for 5 minutes before using to stop them catching alight during the cooking time"

Oh my goodness, these were so flavorful - of course, they are my favorite flavors, soy and ginger! I marinaded my chicken pieces for about an hour and a half, which might have made them more flavorful than the recipe would normally be. I used honey in place of the sugar. Would certainly make again! Made for ZWT6.

Thanks **Jubes** we really enjoyed this for dinner tonight (I used 1/2 kilo of breast meat for 3 of us which was plenty) but I used full amount of marinade (in too much of a hurry) and just poured it over the 7 skewers of chicken, using an indoor grill on the stove top. Thanks once again, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 10.
