Great flavor and so simple to throw together on a weary night. After reading other reviews, I decided to toss the chicken in cornstarch before frying. This really helped to thicken the sauce. I'm afraid it wouldn't be as appealing without it. Next time I might add some peanuts or cashews for added flavor and crunch.
