This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were nice and moist. The sauce was also very tasty, with a nice balance of sweet and spicy.

Absolutely delicious! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. I served it with jasmine rice and steamed vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
