ASIAN GINGER CHICKEN

This is one of my favorite and first recipes I learned from my mom. I marinate the chicken over night and back on reynolds wrap with the skin side up for 45 minutes until the skin is brown and crisp. I use the chicken renderings to season my rice and serve with a crunchy asian cucumber salad.
