Wow! This recipe sounded good but I didn't realize what an impact it would make at dinner time. I've known my husband for close to 15 years and have been cooking chicken for him about as long. He said this was the best chicken I've ever made! I did tweak the recipe by adding a tablespoon of sugar during cooking, and then adding a 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed in a little soy sauce at the end to thicken the sauce a bit. Yummy! I will certainly make this for guests sometime.

My recommendations: very salty, so use low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular; if you choose to remove the chicken skin to save fat, as I did, double the sauce recipe, baste every 15 minutes and turn the chicken over every 30 minutes. This was very easy and my husband liked it, though my daughter and I weren't wild about it.

This recipe is wonderful. It is also great to make ahead and set the oven to come on while you're on your way home from work.

I didn't really care for the flavor... too bland for my tastes, although my boyfirend and son liked it.

It was ok, but we really didn't taste the orange flavor at all...it was certainly easy, but we expected more taste.

This recipe was very tasty and easy to make and my whole family enjoyed it very much. Even though I used skinless thighs, I didn't have the need to double the sauce. Also I used 6 cloves of garlic instead of the 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and followed Joyce's tweaks by adding a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch.

Wow! This was so easy to prepare and we loved the flavor! I used skinless boneless chicken breasts and it was great! Definately a keeper in my recipe box! I think next time I'll marinate the chicken breasts for a few hours before cooking. We didn't think it was too salty at all as reviewed earlier. Thanks so much for posting this Janet...it's YUMMMMMY!!!

wonderful. I used ginger root and garlic clove crushed and marinaded it for several hours. at the last I splashed about 2 tblsp sherry into the gravy. thigh meat works best.
