I'm giving this a three because my dh didn't enjoy the sauce. I did, I liked the different flavors. I think my dh was expecting something more. This recipe was quick and easy to make with nice results. The chicken was a little dry but the sauce covers it nicely. Made as written, but didn't add the cornstarch to the sauce, just dipped the chicken in it served it over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I made this for Culinary Quest -2014 for the Suitcase Gourmets.

This turned out ok after I did a little guessing, the title and step one both call for honey but none is listed in the ingredients so I took a guess and used 1/2 cup. Also step one says add rice vinegar which was also not in the ingredients so used a 1/4 cup. All in all it turned out nicely with DH enjoying it and me thinking it needed just a bit of something more. I am putting the missing ingredients off to some of the problems this site has had of late. Thanks for the post.
