hey a new family fav! thank you! I used apricot preserves this tm, however, I plan to prepare this dish each tm w/every selection of sauce offered up. the family is REALLY looking fwd to the plum sauce (found in the Asian isle of the supermarket). I made a few changes due to availability: ground ginger vs fresh, coconut oil vs veggie, low-sodium soy sauce vs the everyday & 4 tsp of bottled minced garlic vs fresh garlic. thanx for sharing!

It really is Kid Pleasin'! My two picky eaters (ages 7 & 8) loved it. I also used honey...couldn't find the plum sauce. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really great. We had to use the honey instead of the plum sauce because we cannot find it locallly.

My family really loved this recipe. I used honey instead of plum sauce and it came out delicious. My very picky 9 year old LOVED it, she said it tasted like candy!

Very, very tasty recipe. My two grandkids enjoyed this (7 &4) -- and the big kids loved it as well. I think the next time I make it I will cut back a little on the hoisin sauce. I cut up some green onions and sauted them with the chicken. I think some mushrooms would go well also. Thank you for sharing this recipe with all of us.
