easy, and quite tasty!, Guest ladyopah

This was my first time cooking ""bone-in"" chicken - it was quick and easy to make as well as delicious. I halved the recipe, eye-balled the ground ginger and put in some extra orange juice to make more sauce. I also threw in an extra carrot. The only thing that I will do differently next time is mix the corn starch in a small amount of liquid before adding it in - it clumped a bit. I served it over rice, and it was a great one dish meal for me and my husband. I will definitely make this again!
