I would cook it for a few minutes so it gets warm and sticky but it’s up to. you.

Very Confusing. Recipe has 3 sauces. Recipe states, “Combine all ingredients for sauce and pour over chicken”. Which sauce? I, II or III?

Hi! You would choose one out of the three recipes to make 🙂 there are 3 options for you to choose from but you’d only use one at a time!

I made this recipe using cutlets. I baked it on 400 for 1.5 hours and it was really over baked slightly burnt:-(

Super Easy & Delicious! (I made it Fried!) For a GF alternative, replace the flour with a 1/2 cup of corn starch ( I used Gefen). I used Sauce option 1 and cut down significantly on the Soy sauce (just put 2-3 tea spoons) and Brown Sugar (1/4 cup) and its was a hit!!

The sauce is very easy to make, thats why I tried this recipy, but it has a very strong taste and much to heavy to dip in it.

No need to boil it, just pour it over the chicken once it’s done.
