- Spice: If you do not like spice, omit the pepper or if you love to live on the spicy side, try adding more.
- Broil: This is an important step, do not skip it for optimal chicken.
- Go Fresh: Fresh Garlic and Ginger make this recipe so good. Store the whole, unpeeled ginger root in an airtight container in the fridge.
