A thick tangy sauce coats the golden chicken pieces in this savory skillet recipe. I like to serve them over long grain rice or with a helping of ramen noodle slaw. -Dave Farrington Midwest City, Oklahoma

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 is SO good! I doubled the sauce, and that was perfect.

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!

The family loves this recipe. I use boneless chicken thighs and add asian chili sauce and double the sauce. Also add onions.
