I use Nakano brand rice vinegar, but Kikkoman is also a good brand.

Hi, what brand of rice wine vinegar do you recommend? Years ago I made this recipe with a very authentic rice wine vinegar my husband ordered. I can’t remember what brand it was. I have tried just rice vinegar and it did not turn out the same and we were really disappointed.

This is my 20-year-old son’s very favorite dish. I have made it from this recipe many times. I follow the recipe exactly except I cut the vinegar down to 1/8 of a cup. It comes out perfect every time.

Hi Belinda, I haven’t added it specifically to the chicken. I personally steam or roast broccoli separately and toss it together with the chicken before serving or serve it on the side. If they want to bake broccoli with the chicken, I would add it raw. 45 minutes is plenty of cooking time for broccoli. Let me know how it turns out!

Have you ever added broccoli? I was thinking I would steam it first & then add some before baking?

Hi Audrey, thank you for your question. Yes but the chicken won’t have that fried exterior (obviously) and you might need to bake them longer to make sure they are cooked all the way through. Let me know how it turns out!

Can you skip the frying of the chicken and just bake from raw. Trying to save time.

Corrections: I used coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Also, I forgot to mention I mixed in a small can of chunk pineapple before baking. Yum!

Time-consuming prep? Yes. Messy prep? Yes. Delicious? Yes! I substituted soy sauce with amino acids. I used all my cornstarch on prep, so used tapioca flour for the sauce. The baggie method worked well for the first coating in cornstarch but was very messy for the second coating after the egg dip. After reading entries saying it was too sweet, I downsized the honey to 1/2 cup (1/4 cup regular honey; 1/4 cup hot honey) and the brown sugar down to 1/4 cup. I probably should have also cut back a bit on the vinegar, but it was still delicious. I cleaned the prep dishes while the chicken baked in the oven. The sauce thickened just as expected. I served it over rice with a side of zucchini. Despite the prep time and mess, this chicken dish has great flavor and is worth making.
