Very good!!! I cut the recipe back for 2 thighs. I used boneless, skinless thighs. I also topped it with fresh sliced scallions. I will be making this again. Thanks LavenderLynn for this recipe.

This was oh so quick and oh so good, although decidely sweet! I used 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs (for 2 people) and made the full amount of sauce, using dry sherry. My chicken was done ahead of schedule, TG for my instant read thermometer. After removing the cooked chicken thighs, I turned up the heat to reduce the sauce in a few minutes and was pleased with the amount of sauce to drizzle over the chicken, rice and steamed veggies. Thank you for sharing. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.

I made a full recipe using 8 thighes and 3 of gobbled up nearly the lot (3/4 of a thigh left over - sandwich material), I served with rice which I poured the sauce over as well as the chicken (would have liked a slightly thicher sauce so would think of removing chicken and reducing or thickening with cornflour/cornstarch), also te gingerroot I finely diced so that it became part of the sauce with the garlic Thank you for a succulent and tasty recipe Lavender Lynn, made for I Recommend tag game, recommended by duonyte.
