Followed recipe exactly. Picky kid approved. Thank you, this will save a lot of money on takeout that is now not necessary. Made this with the fried rice recipe that was also a winner! Can’t wait to try more recipes from you, Alyssa! Appreciate all the tips as well.

I have made this recipe many, many times and the only thing I change is to dip in egg then toss it into a plastic bag full of cornstarch then fry. The sauce thickens as it bakes. I add a can of chunk pineapple and cubed pieces of red sweet peppers before baking. Always turns out great.

Delicious! The only change I made was using half a cup of buckwheat honey in place of the sugar.

Yummm. Easy, all basic ingredients on hand. I had only enough chicken for half recipe.Followed recipe in spite of cornstarch first, apprehension. Chicken was perfect, crunchy. My mistake was making only half the sauce. Husband liked as not big on a lot of sauce but I am. Next time will make an extra batch. I used fresh frozen cut up pineapple. When pineapples are on sale during holidays, I buy extras, slice them up and freeze. Tonight I will try with boneless pork chops I have in freezer. Thank you

Hello!! It’s important to dredge the chicken in cornstarch before dipping them in the eggs. The cornstarch helps the eggs stick to the chicken and helps the breading adhere.

I made this tonight. I did the 2X because I have a big family and use boneless/skinless chicken thighs. Maybe breast would have been easier? I am not sure if you are forgetting a step in between the cornstarch and egg because my meat all stuck together and then once I put it in canola oil the batter all fell apart. I would have enjoyed it without the cornstarch and egg. The sauce turned out better than I thought it would and had good flavor. I poured chicken with sauce over white rice.
