I used half sugar and half honey on other reviewers' suggestions. I also used Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) instead of flour. My biggest issue with this recipe was that the legs kept "bleeding." (I made it for company and couldn't serve it the first time!) The second time I made it, I even soaked the legs in ice water for quite some time, but still, when I cooked it, there was visible blood on half the pieces. The taste is good, and I think I will make it again. But I will use breasts (even though I know that will change the taste), and I will thicken the sauce with corn starch or flour and brush it on instead, as per another reviewer's suggestion. By the recipe, it ended up nice and crispy where I had fried it, but then soggy at the bottom, where the sauce had accumulated in the bottom of the baking dish.

Very salty! If I made this again I'd cut down on the soy and add pineapple juice instead sugar. It's not that I won't try it again, but I am going to tweak it.

This was delicious...my kids love this dish. I didn't use vinegar for my sauce, but added teriyaki, and sweet & sour sauce. I've already made this twice and plan on making it again today.

A bit too sweet for us. I had even cut out some of the sugar. Didn't have much sour taste either, just sweet. Also, the flour coating was nice and crisp out of the pan, but once out of the oven, it was soggy.

I have been using my mother in laws sweet and sour recipe for the last 10 years. Well that was until I decided to try this one. This is SO easy and tastes just the same as her complicated need to boil for 20 mins recipe. I added cornstarch and heated it in a pot on the stove to thicken, then poured over cooked meatballs. My very picky husband gave it two thumbs up. Definitely have updated my recipe box with this gem.

Made this last night for dinner. It was fairly easy to make and little ingredients needed. I suggest to use smaller drumsticks or wings. Using larger drumsticks won't allow the sauce to bake threw as well. Very good thou.

This was fantastic!! I did add about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and a dash of black pepper. We like spicy food so I can't wait to try it again with some chiles!

these were great! I used a half cup of maple syrup and half cup of white sugar to give it a different flavor and consistency. The sauce, even using maple syrup, was quite thin and liquidy so I would recommend using corn starch to thicken, as others have suggested. Will definitely make again!
