    Very Good
    We really enjoyed this. I reduced the sugar and added 2Tbsp cornstarch instead of flour. Could have used more cornstarch and less cider vinegar. The smell of vinegar cooking was not as enticing as I like my kitchen to be, but yeah, I'd make it again. - 1/13/11

    O.K.
    Recipe didn't give qty for cornstarch so I used 1 T & was slightly runny... Not a bad recipe, but not great. I made without dredging chicken in flour & without sugar, to reduce calories & reduce sweetness & used cajun seasoning to spice it up. Husband didn't take leftovers to work, says it all... - 10/22/09

    I left out the sugar as I don't like it too sweet - 2/11/09
