Honey Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings

I had my first chicken wings a little over two years ago when I went to a wing and pitcher night with some friends.  I became very hungry due to consuming several pitchers of beer and ended up eating a dozen glorious chicken wings.  Since then I've consumed many chicken wings and these honey garlic ginger chicken wings are just as delicious as their deep fried counterparts.  As a cheaper alternative you could use this recipe with drumsticks and thighs.  They go well with sweet potato fries and some pineapple slices.  Mmmmm.
