I tried this recipe the only change being that I used both breasts and thighs. My wife thought it was fanastic and ate twice as much as she usual. Her other comment was that it was better than the lemon chicken that we always order at our favourite chinese restaurant. I agree that it was excellent and at the same time, easy to prepare. Thanks very much.
