This was really good, and is easy to modify depending on what you have on hand. The tomatoes give the end product a unique, rich flavor. We made this without the beans or potatoes, and instead added lots of minced garlic, some chopped green onions and some long grain brown rice in the last hour. Great stuff!

This came out great and is dirt cheap (the whole meal cost around 5 bucks and fed 3 of us!). The reviews were very helpful too. Cut the chicken in half from the suggested amount (little over a 1 3/4 pounds or 6 good-size legs) but made the full amount of sauce so we'd have plenty to go over our rice. Went with the low sodium soy, doubled up on the brown sugar (1/2 cup), added 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, some minced green onion and 2 teaspoons of corn starch. Perfection! Thanks for the recipe. Oh, I noticed a previous review of this recipe where the author found it very time consuming skinning the chicken. A little tip is to take a folded paper towel and grip the chicken skin with the towel as you are pulling it off. The towel helps you keep a firm grip on the skin, especially if your chicken is wet.
