Super Easy Sticky Ginger Chicken

My little Rhea has two absolute favorite chicken recipes – one is teriyaki chicken and the other is this sticky ginger chicken. She will eat the sauce with her little finger so beautifully that she will make you hungry. Just too adorable.

.

I often make this with boneless chicken thighs but I do honestly like sucking on those bones and getting all that sauce out. Sounds eeww bu.. hey love sticky chicken – don’t you.

Oh if you like these types of recipes – try my Honey balsamic chicken Thighs  or Honey and soya baked chicken 

Sticky Ginger Chicken

Ginger flavor.

I think ginger is a very unique flavor; often used in Asian cooking. It’s a root vegetable that really brings out the flavors in meats. In fact it’s an almost must use ingredient in Indian cooking. You will notice I use it a lot in my recipes. I even infuse it in my tea.

Oh did you know that ginger is a very good antioxidant and it’s help raise metabolism too! Just boil a cup of water with a piece of ginger (add cinnamon too). Discard the ginger, use a tea bag and a little sugar and you have a nice herbal tea.

I better not get carried way with my ginger stories. I even love ginger candy! yup.. love it.

Quick and Easy

Well, it takes barely 20 minutes from start to finish. In fact you can marinate the chicken a few hour a head and keep too. I serve it with steamed white rice but it could go with noodles too.
