    tablespoon brown sugar

This was really good. We absolutely love the flavor of ginger. The only thing I will change next time is to use shallots instead of the green onions. The green onions get all soggy and wilty looking after cooking and don't look very appetizing in the finished dish. I think ginger and shallots go together beautifully.

I plan to marinate overnight. Will that be ok?

Very tasty but a little on the sweet side. I would recommend a slice of lemon to squeeze on top of the chicken. Satisfied my craving for Inidan food!
