This is one of our favorite chicken recipes! I'll also use this sauce on chicken pieces like thighs. First I bake the chicken until just about done, then top with the sauce and broil. Yum!

I used about an inch of fresh ginger, grated on a microplane grater, in place of the powdered ginger. I also used light mayo. Turned out great! Moist and delicious! My kids loved it.
