    I'm really just reviewing the sauce because I used pre-made chicken. I thought this was great, and had a nice balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. However, the sauce was very salty, and I'm not really sure how to fix that since it's basically just a mix of other sauces. I may try using low sodium soy next time.

    This was good, but I should have used a bigger pot to fry the chicken. It took forever to cook all the chicken because we used too small of a pot. There is a missing instruction to dredge the chicken in the tempura batter after dipping in the tempura flour. The dry chilies I bought may have been very old because they didn't add any flavor to the final dish. This wasn't a quick recipe, but I would make it again.
