This is absolutely one of the best Chinese chicken recipes I have tried, far better than any you can get in a restaurant and you can make it at home which saves a fortune on take out. I would double the sauce amount though as it is so good and what was listed is not enough to serve over rice, as it soaks up very quickly apart from that it us truly wonderful.

Note: I doubled the sauce ingredients I found you needed more and it was really good over rice.
