    WOW

    This was an easy recipe that my friends are still complimenting me on. It was easy to pull together. I would have added a little more heat to it but it was great as it was.
    Leftover would have been nice (if there was any!! -- oh well next time I know better!

    This is funny. I printed this recipe in 2006, and have made it many times since then, but have never reviewed it. My printed recipe has a clear division as to where the marinade ends, and the rest of the recipe begins. (between "kosher salt...." and "peanut oil...." Food Network redesigned its website to the current form, I believe in 2008, and I have been very critical of how the recipes have been written since then. I am still critical. It is quite obvious the website is being written in a country where English is a second language. And if you combine that with the fact the Food Network is one of only a handful of major cable channels that has NO episodes available online, you can see that FN is an extremely arrogant network. So many recipes are so poorly written, that I am turning to them less and less often. I ran out of space for actual review: try this dish and judge for yourself.

    I wish I had read the reviews before trying this one. I thought the coating was good for the way we like it. I absolutely agree with the way to salty and felt it was more of a salt ***** and not edible at all. Hubby and I adjusted it by adding a lot more honey. It made it similar to the flavor we were looking for but the spice factor still wasn't there. I will move on to trying a different recipe that is less salty.

    I haven't made this recipe yet, but I do want to agree with others' confusion. I can logically deduce what the marinade is because the peanut oil seems to be the beginning of everything else, but there are no spaces or paragraph breaks on my screen/within my browser (Google Chrome.

    i cut back on the amount of chicken stock, but this recipe still tasted like chicken gravy and not an asian sauce. also the measurements on the batter made a very thin, not batter like, coating. i ramped up the amount of corn starch to get a thicker batter.

    I usually like Tyler's recipes, but this one wasn't his best. Like other viewers/reviewers have stated, the dish was way too salty. The soy sauce overpowered the dish, and I used low-sodium soy sauce and no extra salt. Perhaps a little more sweetness would help to balance out the extreme saltiness. Sorry, but this just wasn't very good.
