We have made this chicken many, many times, there are a couple of things I would recommend. First only use skinless, boneless thighs, we tried it both ways and found S/B way the best each time. Secondly if you are having your sauce too thick following the first 6 minutes it is because the amount of cornstarch will always thicken a sauce. I cut it in half every time regardless of how many pieces cooked. This way no need to ever have to add extra sherry. Rick m.

This tasted good, but I don't cook with the microwave, so I used the oven instead. It didn't taste spicy to us, so I'll add more cayenne pepper next time.

Maybe my microwave is more powerful, but after cooking on high for 6 minutes, I just had a few "clumps" of sauce left. Had I cooked it for another 6 minutes at high, I would have had chicken jerky. What was left of the sauce was a tad bitter.

Excellent! BOTH my son and husband love this chicken -- great job and THANKS! -
I came home needing to do something quick with some boneless chicken thighs, and I stumbled on this recipe. I followed the recipe faithfully and it turned out great. What's even better is that you probably have most of the ingredients needed already on hand. Thanks for this gem!
