CRISPY HONEY GINGER CHICKEN

I have made this recipe many times and I finally got a picture before the vultures, I mean my family devoured it! My friend Lynne, from 365 Days of Baking has some amazing recipes on her blog. I tried this recipe and loved it when she posted it almost 3 years ago, I know I have to catch up! I like the flavor of the chicken when it is marinated over night. The ginger flavor isn’t overpowering, it has a delicious flavor.
