OH, my goodness!!! This was absolutely DIVINE!!! I stuffed my chicken with sliced onion, garlic, and celery just to add extra flavor. Basted as directed, and served with rice, stir-fried vegs and remaining marinade. WONDERFUL!!! Only thing I changed was to add a little extra garlic and I also skipped the mustard, as I didn't have any on hand. DEFINITELY A KEEPER!! Thanks, mandabears!!! ~Manda

This was wonderful. Easy to make, and tastes great, really had that chinese flavor, almost like a chinese duck recipe! I marinated this overnight. The skin turned out darker than I thought, in fact I thought I had burned it, but it's just the marinade working. And the crispy skin tasted good too. I left out the dry mustard only because I didn't have any. Didn't miss it at all. Honestly thanks! Because we will be making this again for sure!
