“I made mine in my convection oven and it came out great. I loved how the chicken crisped up with just the seasoning and a dusting of corn starch. Who knew? I made sure the chicken pieces weren't touching and I flipped them after 10 minutes. Next time I'll look” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was great. Easy, tasty, makes extra sauce. What’s not to love! I added sriracha and didn’t have sesame seeds so skipped those but did the rest as is. Perfect and will be adding to the regular rotation.” — a cook, 5.0★
