Delicious! My family has been making this for years with two small changes: UP the amount of water to 2 cups (rather than 1), and change the sugar to 3/4 cup each of white & brown sugar. I also use powdered ginger (1 TB) and it works out great, but I'm sure fresh is even better! I highly recommend this, its SO easy and goes wonderful with rice.
So good! I usually don't eat brown meat but I found some thighs on sale so decided to give them a shot. This recipe hit the spot perfectly. DH loved it too. We ate it with a side of baked sweet potatoes and cornbread - seemingly strange combination but it went together rather well.
Very simple very good! I only changed two things: I removed the skin before cooking to reduce the fat and I doubled the green onion adding half of it to the chicken while it simmered. This will be on my regular rotation!
My family loved this dish. I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and added an additional cup of water used 1/2 cup sugar and added green onions to the stock while it was cooking and also sprinkled green onions on the finished dish. Used the conversion for portion size on the site as the original recipe would have been way too much for a family of four. Luckily I had a fresh ginger root!! I was a wee bit nervous with using the amount the recipe called for but oh so glad I did! This one will be in the rotation for years to come. Try it you won't regret it!
this recipe is pretty good there was only two of us so i used 1 pound of chicken breast tenderloins only 1/4 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of water lots of green onions and garlic and i forgot to get the ginger and it was still good I made this one other time and it was to much sugar for me but my boyfriend liked it. I used a lot less this time and he still loved it!
Liked it but i added my own twist to it: one or two teaspoons of oyster sauce two teaspoons of Chinese five-spice powder one and a half piece of star aniseed and the big bonanza: a glass of scotch/whiskey. Instead of sugar I used honey i thought it would be a little healthier (don't know for sure). My family loved it! I'm thinking of adding a bit of dark chocolate for a ark and rich creamy flavor.
I made this for the first time tonight and it was a BIG hit!!! I made a double batch, and put wings and drummies in with some thighs....OMG...what flavor and we can't wait for leftovers tomorrow. I made the error of covering the pot completely when I started cooking..and it boiled over. So make sure that you leave the lid vented a little. We'll make this again!
Pretty and very quick. I cook mine in the oven!
My family liked it a lot. I used a little less garlic though and next time I make it I'll try to reduce the amount of sugar. This is a keeper!
Good but not worth putting in my family recipe book
