This was so yummy! I followed some advice & tripled the sauce, but it would have been better just doubled. The recipe never said to drain the extra oil, so I just put the sauce in with the chicken, veggies & oil. The sauce stuck to the fried chicken & when done, I was able to just scoop these delicious crispy chicken chunks in yummy sesame wrap right out of the hot oil & eat over steamed brown rice. Will be added to our regular dinner rotation!!!!

Wow! This was relatively easy and came out great! I did substitue a little bit of ginger for the five-spice because I couldn't find it. Add a little bit of sesame oil into the dish and it is PERFECT!

I chose this recipe primarily because I had the 5 spice powder and hadn't used it yet. It was just ok. I think I might try it next time without the sauce, but am not sure. It wasn't bad, just not spectacular for me and I was trying to find another chicken recipe to use for my husband who isn't a big poultry fan.

This was fabulous! Way better than the premade mix you can buy. I tripled the sauce and unfortunatly couldn't find the 5 spice powder anywhere...otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for the recipe Amber!

Delicious! Super easy to make. We tripled the sauce, and no onion - still excellent, though next time I think we'll add garlic and more veggies. Thanks for sharing!

Like everyone else, increased the amount of sauce. used 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 1/2 cup of honey instead of the recommended 2 tbs. Made for an excellent cold breakfast the next day also!!!

very good, but I made twice and liked it better with some changes I made. Coat the chicken pieces in a mixture of cornstarch/flour, it's crunchier that way and won't get soggy when you add the sauce. I don't bother with the onions and peppers, it doesn't add much to the dish and my kids won't eat it that way. Double the sauce, but not the sesame seeds. And I think the chicken will soak up all the sauce no matter how much you make, so I will make extra to serve on the side next time. And I don't have 5 spice blend so I used a bottle of teriyaki sauce, it was already pretty seasoned. The dish was very salty, so I would try watering down the sauce with chicken broth, but that depends on the type of teriyaki sauce you choose to use.

Dish was good not great although husband who is picky liked it and ate remaining for left overs. I did change recipe as previous postings suggested to 3 tbsps olive oil with 2 tbsps sesame oil, used peas although I think to much was added, 4 tbsps terriyaki sauce & honey however I will cut the honey count to 2 tbsps next time due to that it made it to sweet. Maybe more red pepper next time with broccoli instead. Will make again - thank you for the recipe.

Really tasty! We made this for dinner the other day and enjoyed it very much. We'll definitely have it again, and maybe try out some of the variations next time.

Definitely not restaurant quality, but still pretty good. Needed more sauce, so I added more teriyaki sauce, a little soy sauce, and a couple dashes of hot sesame oil. Definitely doesn't need more honey. Also used more oil than in the recipe and subbed green beans and some shitake mushrooms for green pepper and pan fried chicken in a mix of vegetable and sesame oil as suggested.

We liked this (by "we" I mean my husband and I), but I did have to double the sauce ingredients. I would highly recommend sticking with the Chinese five spice powder. I did not think that I was going to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. Also, I decided to fry the chicken pieces in 3 tbsp. of canola oil and 2 tbsp. of sesame oil. This really brought out the sesame flavor.
