This had a nice flavor, but the sauce was too thin, so I had to add extra cornstartch, and cook it longer than than the directions said. I added a dash of siriacha, and tripled the recipe, as I was feeding a large group for a family party. Visually, it isn't all that appealing (kind of a pinkish color) but had a good flavor. As I was feeding a large crowd, we used a good-quality popcorn chicken that had been oven-baked for crispness.
