Chinese Barbecue Chicken with Garlic Sauce


I made this several days ago and when John took the first bite he immediately said "This is GREAT!" Normally I have to ask him his opinion, so an immediate response told me it was a winner. It was tasty and honestly doesn't have a typical Chinese food flavor at all. It was a little spicy but very delicious. If you are looking for a new way to make chicken give this a shot.
