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.

This is one of the best dishes I have ever made!!!! My boyfriend really enjoyed it and has asked me to make it again already and we only just had it two nights ago! It's will definitely be a regular dish where he is such a picky eater! Definitely one of my favorites!

I thought this was good and will make it again, but I thought the flavor needed something more...maybe I'll add the Asian chili sauce like was suggested.

This recipe was a great introduction to the Asian Five Spice Powder. It seems to add so many great flavors that I could never seem to capture.

I found this recipe over a year ago. My family loves it. I even keep the sauce recipe handy to use with a teriyaki salmon we make...it's better than from a bottle. Yum!

Made this for a lodge dinner for 50. Substituted chicken hindquarters for thighs because I needed a real he-man main dish. Doubled the sauce. Nothing but raves from both men and women. A keeper for sure.

I made this last night with boneless chicken thighs. Doubled the sauce. Added asian chili sauce (we like things spicy in our family). Didn't cook as long since there was no bone. (Didn't do the cornstarch/water at end. It was already thickened). Served with stir fried vegetables and asian noodles. The family LOVED it. There was not a piece of chicken left! Definitely a new favorite!

So so so so good. I used rice vinegar instead of white vinegar and used frozen concentrated orange juice. I also made my own Chinese 5 spice powder with equal parts of ground cloves, ground fennel, ground anise, cinnamon, and black pepper.

This is a hit everytime i make it. I've given it to my sister who now also makes it often. We both sometimes use chicken breasts instead of thighs.

Awesome!! Better than take-out!!You can also cook it in the oven instead of on the stove top. I marinate the chicken thighs and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, uncovered. Baste occasionally and stir in the cornstarch mixture with 15 minutes left in the cooking time.

This is one of our very favorite recipes. We like to double the sauce ingredients and serve fresh steamed broccoli on the side.
