Roberta, I am so happy it turned out great for you! We really love this chicken too. I couldn’t agree more on the cooking time. The last few times I’ve made it myself I’ve only baked it for 40 minutes, so I am going to update the recipe card with that. Thanks for your sweet comment and reminder on the bake time. 🙂

I am not a great cook, but I had friends coming over for dinner and wanted to serve something with an Asian/Polynesian flavor. This recipe came out perfect and was delicious. I would definitely make it again.

My only comment is that I think an hour is probably too long to cook it. The chicken seemed a touch overcooked.

I also tested out the almost identical Hawaiian version in the link and 45 minutes seemed sufficient because the chicken came out more tender.

Both versions are tasty, but I preferred the sweet and sour.

We use arrowroot powder as almost all corn is GMO these days. it works just the same as cornstarch.

One of my family’s favorite recipes. One of my kids asked for it yesterday and I couldn’t find the recipe in my box. So after looking high and low, I finally found it on your site. Definitely printed it off for my recipe box.
It really is tasty and no changes needed. Even my picky daughter loves it. Making it for a birthday dinner tonight!

I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and it was sweet enough for us. The fried rice had a strong onion flavor so I obviously did not use a small enough onion. I had some more rice to cut down the strong onion flavor and that helped.

Haha. What i love most is the fact that you the chicken is baked instead of being deep fried

Anonymous,
You can use mayo and thin it with a little milk or water until it’s the same consistency as the beaten eggs if you want to omit the eggs from the chicken coating
