This is an excellent recipe! I did double the sauce, because we like to have extra to dip our egg rolls. I didn't have orange juice but actually prefer orange rum in a few other Asian recipes, and it was perfect in this. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. This is definitely a keeper, but when I make it in the future, I will make a popcorn style chicken, by dipping chunks of chicken in egg white and dusting with corn starch and frying until crisp and golden and then following the rest of the recipe. This will be just like the chicken you find at a mall food court or chinese buffet.

Wonderful! I didn't have any Chinese five-spice powder so I added a spoonful of Hoisin Sauce.

I made this for the first time and me and my boyfriend loved it. I will be adding it to my go-to recipes.

made it for the first time tonight and really liked it! The only thing I will do different the next time is double the sauce and thickener, cover the pan for about the first 15 minutes, add the cornstarch mix, and then leave the pan uncovered for the final 15 minutes. That might leave enough sauce to put on rice.

I followed the recipe and did not like the flavor. My true test whether to make a recipe again is ask the family how they liked it. When they reply, "it was ok", that translates to me as don't make again. I really did want to like this recipe...sorry:(

I love this recipe. I make it all the time. I made it completely following the recipe the first time and loved it. From then on, I added my own twists. I cook the chicken in a pan first to get a good golden crust on it, then throw in some onions and the garlic from the recipe. Let that cook and then throw in the sauce for the recipe. I allow that to cook on its own for a bit then add the chicken and let that finish cooking. Then serve. Also, I felt the sauce was a little sweet for my taste so instead of ketchup, I used Kochu Jeng. Add a little lime on top and it's so good!

This chicken is SHOCKINGLY good. I'm usually a white meat kinda girl but had thighs that I needed to cook. I happened to have all the ingredients and ta-da... its to die for. I didn't change a thing.
