Expert Tips for Making the Best Sticky Chicken
- Spice is Nice: The recipe calls for cayenne but it's not too spicy. If you don't like spice, you can easily omit it or if you like spice...add a little extra.
- Broil: You may be tempted to skip the broiling part of the recipe, but don't. It makes this recipe perfection!
- Get Fresh: Fresh Garlic and Ginger make this recipe so good. Store the whole, unpeeled ginger root in an airtight container in the fridge.
