This was really easy and good. I did plan to do it in the BBQ but the wind came up so it went into the oven. And it came out great. Two of us polished this off with no problem. This will be repeated. Thanks for the post mandabears.

    Very moist and tasty. Served it with "Lo Mein Like Evergreen" and it complemented it very well. The whole family enjoyed it.

    WONDERFUL recipe!!! I used fresh ginger and white pepper and marinated the chicken for about 8 hours. Cooked it on my rotisserie, basting with the marinade, and it was fabulous!Served it with braised baby bok choy(#80335),Chinese fried rice(#38748) and my recipe for fresh asparagus salad for a really yummy dinner.Thanks,Mandabears, for a great recipe that I'll serve often!

    OH, my goodness!!! This was absolutely DIVINE!!! I stuffed my chicken with sliced onion, garlic, and celery just to add extra flavor. Basted as directed, and served with rice, stir-fried vegs and remaining marinade. WONDERFUL!!! Only thing I changed was to add a little extra garlic and I also skipped the mustard, as I didn't have any on hand. DEFINITELY A KEEPER!! Thanks, mandabears!!! ~Manda
