Fantastic flavor. For the oil, I used half peanut oil and half sesame oil. I recserved some chopped raw scallions to garnish. This chicken is a cinch to make and is better than take-out. Boneless thighs would work well with this recipe, too. Thanx!

Made this last night as I had scallions that needed to be used. Great recipe, lots of flavor and simple to make. DH said "it's a keeper", which is great as he is picky!
