     For a Chinese dish, this wasn't bad. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese, but I will make this again. My husband is a HUGE fan of Chinese, and he said this was better than getting it from a restaurant. - 2/9/09

     This recipe is fantastic. I didn't have ginger or garlic so I made without those. My juice of choice was Dole's Orange Pineapple - used a little less than the recipe calls for and it was perfect. Only problem is that there wasn't enough! - 6/4/12

     I made this last night & thought it was amazing! I have never made Chinese food at home that came out THIS good. I only had about 1.5 lbs of chicken so I used half the amount with the same amount of sauce for only 3 people and it came out fabulous with steamed broccoli served over brown rice, yum! - 3/9/10

     I use a breast and some thighs both since my DH & I have different tastes. I use honey for sweetening and usually use pineapple juice. We both love it. - 1/8/19

     Very tasty! I added frozen asian veggie medley and a bit of brown rice. I used boneless skinless chicken breast and it was still delicious. Will definitely make it again. - 7/13/15

     This was absolutely delicious. My family loved it. The only difference i made was substituting chicken broth for fruit juice as i didn't have any. I also needed to double the sauce for a bigger meal (except for the vinegar) and did not use ginger. Will be making again. - 4/1/13
