This dish will remind you of a restaurant, but it’s so much better, and super easy to whip up at home using staples from your pantry. The chicken pieces fried in batter have the perfect amount of crunch while remaining moist, and the sauce thickens up beautifully, balancing the sweet and tangy flavor. Serve over a bed of rice for a delicious meal.

Definately needs to be eaten fresh, i made it for a shabbat dinner which was a mistake, and definately doesnt reheat well

This is a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it. The chicken was so soft and so tasty!
Layer it on top of quinoa and it looks amazing!

I've made a lot of chicken recipes, and we were blown away by this one. It is a bit labour-intensive but totally worth it.
I didn't change the recipe at all besides for the sauce - it wasn't thickening after boiling for about 10 mins and Shabbos was approaching, so I mixed another tsp of cornstarch with water and stirred that in, it thickened instantly.

I did find that it wasn't as good the next day, the sauce had settled a bit and the chicken no longer had that full flavour.
I wonder if you can freeze the chicken after frying, and then make the sauce fresh before using it?

Also, are the amounts for the marinade correct? It makes a miniscule amount, I mixed it in with the chicken and you couldn't even see it was there.
