This was so quick to get in the oven and has a great flavor; not too sweet and not too salty. I liked dipping the chicken in cornstarch instead of flour, made it a lot crispier and helped to thicken the sauce. I added a few chunks of pineapple after it came out of the oven for a little sweetness. Made and reviewed for 2012 Spring PAC.
