Greeeeaaaaat! This recipe was great. Even though I did not have any ginger, I subbed it for nutmeg and paprika. My family loved it."

Wonderful! The smell while baking is heavenly, sweet and spicy. Exotic. The chicken melts in the mouth and is a burst of flavor. My husband and I just loved it. Is high in the list now and certainly I will cook this recipe again. Very tasty, mildly spicy. Perfect.Thanks for sharing!"
