Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1
Place all ingredients except chicken into a bowl and mix to make a marinade.
2
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator with the marinade for at least 3 hours. A plastic bag sealed tight without much air or free space is believed to provide the best marinating. As with many marinating recipes, the longer the better.

Notes
- •Cut the chicken wings into two pieces at the elbow joint (recommended).
- •For the health conscious, remove the chicken skin.
- •Heat marinade on grill along with chicken wings, and add a little to the wings when done (See Warnings below).
- •1 teaspoon of ginger powder can be substituted for the fresh ginger.
- •Feel free to apply the marinade recipe to other chicken cuts, such as breasts. A shish-kabob variation of this recipe is also excellent.
