I had breaded chicken tenders on hand so I did not do the chicken but the sauce seemed a little off to me. Much too much white pepper and otherwise seemed to bland for my crew. We live close to Springfield and have eaten our fair share of cashew chicken and this was not close to anything we've had.

Loved it! So glad I found this recipe. I grew up in MO (Texas Co.) and have never found cashew chicken the same anywhere else!

This recipe is great... I've made it many times. In an effort to make it a little more healthy I have now been cooking the chicken in a skillet with light olive oil and no breading. Once the sauce is done i pour it over the chicken and add the cashews. It is very good, the family loves it. Also for those of you who have never used white pepper, it is extremely strong even for my family who like spicy foods. So, I would recommend to use a smaller amount.

too much work for an ok flavor...

My fiance & I made this recipe for the family and we loved it, my teenagers said it needed to be added to our regular menu. LOL!. The first time we made it we had no white pepper and it missed that zing. So we had to make it again the next day because it was so good first time even with out the pepper. We used just a dash or so of regular pepper this time and it turned out perfect. This recipe takes us back to high school days at our favorite hangout. Awesome!! We did double the sauce it just didnt seem like enough.

OMG!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Ive recently moved to a town that has about a dozen chinese Restaurants and not one of them makes cashew chicken this way. Which is the way i love mine, breaded of course, it reminds me of my favorite chinese place growing up. The first time we made it we had no white pepper so left it out entirely and it missed that zing. We added a dash of pepper or so bot the recommended amount and it came out great. This recipe is awesome!!!! My family loved it so much i had to make it two days in a row and it makes a lot. Just note when you change the servings for 2,4, 6 people etc., it does not adjust the second half of cornstarch amount needed so double check your measurements. we served over bed of fried rice and with the crab rangoon III recipe. ENJOY!!! .

It's been many years since I've eaten Cashew Chicken like this and I don't remember the sauce having so much pepper. If I make this recipe again I will cut the pepper in half. We liked the chicken though.

Not too bad! Next time I will leave out the sugar in the sauce. I have lived in Springfield my whole life and have grown up eating plenty of Springfield style cashew chicken, and this recipe was a little too sweet. I also had to add a little more oyster sauce than called for. Overall a good recipe though!!

Nice change of Chinese pace.....

This was a great recipe. I grew up in the Ozarks and found out quickly when I moved away that "cashew chicken" in other places was not the meal that I knew. The white pepper gave it a spicy zing. Next time I think I will reduce it just a bit.

I thought this was just OK. I'm a Springfield, MO native, so my expectations are pretty high. My husband, however, liked it very much. In the future, I would cut way back on the white pepper. 1 t. was way too much. I may also cut back on the oyster sauce as I like a less fishy-tasting sauce. The chicken fried up beautifully and it made a nice presentation.

absolutely wonderful!!!! we baked the chicken to make more healthy. This is a new family favorite!!! Thank you!

The chicken itself was just as expected for the Springfield style. However, the sauce was not very good at all.

I made this recipe by stir frying the chicken in a tablespoon of oil instead of frying it. Poured the sauce over and wa-la. An amazing meal, quick and easy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My husband and I attended college in Springfield. We graduated in 2006 and moved to Iowa. We have been looking for good Cashew Chicken ever since. This recipe is perfect and tastes just like the Cashew Chicken in Springfield that we loved so much. The only change we made to the recipe was to cut the corn startch down to two tbsp. Otherwise, Perfect!

Very good, everyone ask me how to make this recipe.

We love this recipe. I've made a few modifications for our tastes: I only use 1 1/2 cups of cashew halves, I use 4 whole green onions and I reduce the amount of corn starch to 2T (can add more if needed). Also, you need to use enough peanut oil so that it is about 1 inch deep in your pan. Other than that, the recipe is AWESOME! This recipe is requested quite often at our house.

Trying to cut carbs, I just sauteed the chicken. THE SAUCE WAS OUTSTANDING. I made this for a former Springfield resident, and she said the sauce was just like it. It was better than takeout. THANKS FOR A GREAT RECIPE!
