This was really good. Loved the marinade. Even though the batter was a little different than what I've made before(turned out frothy), the crust was really nice and crunchy. I used boneless/skinless chicken breasts and made bite sized cubes. Cooked up great. I served chinese plum sauce and spicy chinese mustard as for dipping sauces.These make great little appetizers. I think the batter would make really good fish batter, too. Thanks, Kiwi, for an easy and delicious recipe. I'll definatly make this again and recommend this. LeeAnn

This was pretty good, we loved the marinade. We weren't real crazy about the batter but we did like the crunchy effect it gave it. I used chicken thighs bone in. I had to cut the chicken to see if it was done quite often and needed to cook a bit longer so the edges of the batter got overdone. I will make the marinade again but probably not the batter. Thanks for posting
