Introduction

This is based on a recipe that my Grandmother used to make. I had it every childhood and young adult birthday, for as long as I can remember. When she no longer made it, my mom did. It's my all time favorite, and I was racking my brain to figure out how to make it WLS friendly!

Note: Original recipe calls for fryer chicken, with skin. Dusted with flour and ginger. Regular soy sauce and regular brown sugar. Served over steamed white rice.
