Liked it a lot. It had all the Chinese flavours that we were looking for. I used boneless-skinliess chicken thighs instead of breasts, because that was what I had on hand at the moment. I'm sure the chicken breasts would be as tasty.

Then followed the recipe, and it came out golden-brown on the top, very moist and tasty.
