My daughter just loved this dish. Was nice and easy to make for when I work all day.

Very tasty! I didn't have ginger root or fresh garlic, so I used powdered and put it in the marinade. Also, I omitted the sugar (the less sugar, the better), and it turned out fine.

Excellent! Very easy to make and always tastes great.

The method was easy, the flavor was bland. It seems there was a true lack of any spices - just the look of chinese. If I made it again, I'd saute onion, garlic, ginger and then add the chicken - and continue with the recipe.
