I thought this was ridiculously easy although messy to cook but the finished product was restaurant quality. My husband loved it and I have recommended it to all my friends.

It's ok, but people should be warned that pounding the chicken is a must, otherwise the pieces take too long to cook and tend to burn... the orange sauce is not sweet enough, in my opinion, and the whole thing takes too long to cook - too much work for the 3 star quality of the recipe... maybe if I mash that chicken :|
