If you're looking to eat ketchup over your rice, then this is the recipe for you. Too bad I wasn't. It was gross. Ketchup and vinegar, hhmm...NOT! However, I had to give it a two because the breaded chicken was pretty good...if you don't put it in the sauce and just eat it on the side. If you're looking for MANDARIN chicken recipe, this isn't it.
