Great Chinese chicken dish!!! I made this, although scaled back to 1/2 of the amount, and subbed whole almonds for the cashews, otherwise, made as written. To me, this is more authenic tasting, by using the oyster and sesame sauces, then other recipes. My reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that it was too sweet for my liking, almost a sweet and sour chicken flavor.
