  1. This is so easy and carefree to make, it's a cinch for a weeknight meal. The flavor is mild and sort of Polynesian. It goes well with rice. I also served this with edamame. Very good! Thanks!
     
  2. My family and I were not too crazy about this recipe. We did not like the texture or taste of the chicken. We thought the sauce was too mild in flavor and had a weird consistency. Sorry, but I will not make it again.
     
  3. Ginger. It's missing ginger. I put in some grated (jarred) ginger from Trader Joe's. Rounded out the flavors nicely. Great recipe otherwise. Super easy and likely to impress company.
     
  4. Very good, quick and very easy. I really trimmed the fat off the thighs, so the sauce wasn't too heavy. I'm looking forward to the leftovers. Thanks for posting your recipe.
     
  5. We loved it! Oldest son said "awesome Mom"!! Will be making again. Thanks for posting this one!

  1. Great simple supper dish. Made with stuff that's always in the kitchen. Sauce was great over the plain brown rice that we had with it. Used sesame oil in place of the vegetable oil and added a tablespoon of oyster sauce and one of sweet-chili sauce. DH raved about it!
     
  2. Really tasty recipe. Loved that it was so easy to make. Did add fresh mushrooms. Substituted one teaspoon of sesame oil for the vegetable oil. Didn't make the sauce, it just looked to greasy. Will definitely be making again.
     
  3. This was wonderful, my family just gobbled it up and then I took some to a church function and had no leftovers!! It seems to be a hit with children, since I had a whole lot of mothers come and ask me for the recipe since their kids just couldn't get enough. The only thing I changed was substituted the oil for sesame oil and slowcooked it for 12 hours on med-low. Thank you for such a great recipe that I will use over and over again.
