Ginger and orange marmalade give these rumaki-style snacks wonderful flavor. I marinate the wrapped chicken earlier in the day and broil them when guests arrive. —Betty Pierson, Wellington, Florida

Ingredients

12 bacon strips, halved
10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 24 cubes
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
Sweet-and-sour sauce, optional

Directions

1. Place bacon on a broiler rack. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until partially cooked; cool.
2. Wrap a piece of bacon around a chicken cube and water chestnut slice; secure with a toothpick. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the marmalade, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Add wrapped chicken; seal and carefully turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Broil chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or chicken is no longer pink and bacon is crisp. Serve warm with sweet-and-sour sauce if desired.
