I only really used the sauce portion of this recipe. I coated the raw chicken with flour and then fried it. Made the sauce to pour over it and served it over rice. The recipe was pretty sweet but it was absolutely delicious. I will be making it again!

This was soooo good! My three-year-old, who has been asserting his independence through food, didn't even put up the tiniest fuss. In fact, I've never seen him eat so fast and then he asked for seconds! As another person suggested, I skipped the frying (didn't feel like dealing with the extra step) and just cooked the chicken in a pan. I don't think anyone missed the crispy coating of the meat, but I will try it next time. Also, I used 4 dried chiplote chilies. They didn't make the dish hot, which my kids would not have liked, but once cut, they added a lot of spice. I think this will be a regular family dinner.

Absolutely excellent. At the suggestion of others, I did not deep fry the chicken (used breasts as that is all I had), just fried it in less oil and I doubled the sauce. Otherwise made exactly as written. Restaurant quality or better!

Loved it. Only changes: My son was preping the chicken and tossed in cornstarch without the egg mix, so we threw the egg mix on top and tossed it, became more like a tacky batter but fried up beautifully :) Also, found it a bit salty so next time will use light soy. Thanks ChefDaddy, a keeper!

Delicious! I ended up not having peanut oil or red chilies (fine since I'm feeding kids) in the house, only half the soy sauce, black pepper rather than white, OJ instead of orange zest (compensated for missing soy liquid) and by mistake I used curry instead of ginger and it still was AMAZING! More depth of flavor than most restaurant versions. Doubled the sauce and used 2.5lbs of chicken and it was just enough to serve two adults and 3 young kid since everyone wanted seconds. This is good enough to serve to company!

Followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have peanut oil so I followed another user's suggestion and used peanut butter. I also doubled the sauce recipe. Turned out perfect.
