Made this recipe last night after viewing it on the main page as a feature recipe. I did not have the Chinese 5 spice powder but made it anyway. I doubled the sauce as others suggested and also squeezed a whole orange into the sauce mixture rather than using concentrate OJ. I also breaded the chicken as most restaurants do. i fried the chicken pieces and then removed from pan. I poured in the sauce, let it simmer until it began to reduce a bit. Then added the cornstarch/water a little at a time until it was the consistancy I was looking for. Added the chicken back in to coat with the sauce. Served over rice and it was absolutely AMAAAAAZING. We LOVED it. More than my favorite Chinese restaurant! More than Cheesecake Factory. Will DEFINITELY make this many times! Thank you so much for sharing!

This recipe is superb! I was looking for that "Sunday recipe", you know, the one that you can toss in the oven or crock pot most of the day. I admit that I've NEVER cooked a whole chicken before - I typically buy/cook parts but have always wanted to cook a rotisserie chicken. Anyway, I cooked this exactly as the recipe instructed and WOW! My family LOVED this chicken and immediately asked me to make it again. This is definitely a 5 star keeper! Thanks so much for sharing!
