HONEY GINGER CHICKEN BITES
These bite-sized appetizers are steeped in a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, ginger, citrus and honey. The marinade is then reduced and used to glaze the chicken. Originally from a local paper food section on cooking light. You may substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the thighs and you may want to add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce if you like your food spicy! Prep time does not include marinating time.
