I love this recipe! The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to add a little bit of extra garlic and ginger to the sauce for a more intense flavor.

This Chinese garlic chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and addictive. I loved the hint of spice from the red pepper flakes. I will definitely be making this dish again.
