I love garlic and spicy but the vinegar was too over-powering in this dish.

I forgot to rate this recipe when I made it. I added some red bell pepper and bamboo shoots to this. While we are lovers of strong flavors, and I did read the reviews, I was still unprepared for how strong the vinegar is in this recipe. It was mellower the next day, but I would definately reduce the amount if I make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

The flavor was fine, actually kind of interesting. It was way too sugary though. I wish I would have noticed some of the reviews and cut the sugar in half.

This was good. Very easy, but the only things was that it was way too much sauce. I didn't add the peas and mushrooms but instead used celery, carrots and red bell pepper. (Oh, and I made this using chicken thighs) I think next time I'll play around with this and make less sauce.

I have been meaning to make this recipe for a long time, and I am so glad I finally did! Don't let the "Vicious" scare you, this recipe is fabulous! I did modify it just slightly for personal tastes, as we all should, but only minimally: 1/2 Tbsp red pepper flakes, and only 1 cup white vinegar. The vinegar/soy sauce combo is outstanding! The sugar does a great job of sweetening the sauce as well. My husband doesn't like peas and so, to add some crunch with the chicken and mushrooms, I added sliced celery instead. Superb! I think next time I will use more chicken, we both were left wanting more after the meat was gone!

This did not turn out as we anticipated. It never thickened, not sure if that is how it is or something we did wrong. It had a nice flavor, but even with adding more vegetables it was really soupy. Probably will not make again.

Excellent recipe! I didn't have any white vinegar on hand so I only used 1/2 cup of apple vinegar. I added onions, mushrooms,peas,green peppers, green beans, and chili peppers. Next time I won't add as many chili peppers as it was HOT! I will also add red instead of green peppers next time. Thanks for a terrific recipe! A definite keeper! 10/27/07 I made this the other night for some friends -- this is only my second time making it. It was delicious -- again!!! I added bean sprouts and pea pods to it. It tasted to vinegarry so I added some more sugar and ouila! I think I'll add more chicken next time. We seemed to have ate most of it with dinner and I didn't have any for leftovoers!

We make this about once a month. I don't use quite as much sugar, half the amount is fine. I also add more vegetables as this is a great base recipe.

WOW! This should be called "chicken delicious" lol I agree with another reviewer's comment that this very simple and delicious recipe can easily be altered to fit your personal taste preference! I sub. the mushrooms and peas with frozen brocoli because that is all I had on hand, and accidently left out the green onions, but the recipe still tasted WONDERFUL! I served over a bed of white rice. My husband loved it- I will be making this recipe again and again!! Definitely one of the best recipes I've found on this site... thanks for sharing!

I really wanted to like this recipe, but it just didn't do it for me. It had a strange flavor. I think it might've been the onion powder. Not sure. Oh, well, thanks anyway.

This was spicy all right and I used about half of the red pepper flakes. My husband and I thought it was pretty good. I served over a bed of wild rice and instead of peas(we don't like them) I used green beans which turned out great. I also had to add extra cornstarch to get the sauce thicker to our liking.

This recipe was awesome. I used Splenda, something I haven't cooked with too often, so I wasn't sure if the 1-to-1 on the sugar was going to be right, and frankly, I'd probably cut down on the Splenda next time. I used various veggies, icluding broccoli and cabbage, and might stir-fry them seperately next time so I can better control thier doneness. Used about a half of a tablespoon red peppers, and that was about perfect (for me). Lord, was it good! Hot! Sweet! Fantastic. Thank you for submitting.

This dish is really great. If you do not like any flavor to your food, or have horrible taste in general would be the only reason you would not give this dish 5 stars. I do suggest however to only use about 3/4 cup of sugar and slightly less vinegar. I like to roll the diced chicken in corn starch before cooking. It helps give a nice color/texture to the chicken pieces. I also added Yakisoba noodles one time. I have made this twice and both times it was excellent.
