    VERY DELICIOUS !! Pretty easy to make. Used 2tbs of corn starch to help thicken sauce. Next time I’ll use 3 lbs of chicken because there was a lot of leftover sauce. Served with grilled pineapple

    Really delicious. We were really happy with this. Made it with boneless skinless thighs (using the method recommended in by Trisha of cooking the sauce down a bit before adding the thighs). Served with namasu pickles, pineapple chunks, and butter lettuce with creamy Asian dressing, and rice. Fantastic meal! (Next time I’d use ~3 lb)

    Very easy to make for a weeknight dinner. The chicken was flavorful and tender. Broiled it for a few minutes to brown the chicken skin made it taste even better. Didn't feel the need to thicken the sauce.

    This is a great weeknight dish, especially if you WFH and can take the 6 minutes required to get the braising liquid ready. I used closer to 3.5lbs of meat and the sauce didn’t need to be adjusted. This will be a repeat in our home

    This is pure comfort food and we loved it. I used boneless, skinless thighs. To adapt, I let the sauce cook on its own for 30 minutes, and only then did I add the chicken thighs to cook with the sauce for the last 30 minutes.

    Delicious. There is a ton of extra sauce, but I don't think you could braise the chicken properly in a smaller amount. The sauce's flavor is very concentrated, so you don't need a lot drizzled on top of the chicken.

    Very yummy- easier than another recipe I used before. Sauce got thick enough that didn't need cornstarch. The chicken was so nice & brown we didn't broil it either. Will definitely cook this again!
