UPDATE 9/7/08 to say, my dh wants me to make this once a week. It's a new staple!, turned out perfect the 2nd time, so a recipe you just can't get wrong.----My DH said this was a home run! It didn't look like either of the pictures on here, but it looked so good on our plates. I served on a bed of rice and with Pan-Roasted Broccoli , which is fast becoming a standard in my household. I also learned after 8 years of marriage that chicken thighs is my husbands favorite part of the chicken! I had no idea! I use porcelein coated cast iron pans, so it took longer for the chicken to brown and release on the first side, even with a generous amount of olive oil to fry in. The final product was so moist, not overcooked at all. I upped the garlic to 3 large cloves & used regular soy. This is restaurant quality and SO easy! Thanks!

Very nice recipe with an Asian flair. I made the recipe a little different, but I'm sure the results are similar. I substituted apple sauce for the apple juice, tomato sauce for the ketchup, and eliminated the cornstarch and water called for at the end of the recipe. I seared my thighs on my stovetop grill, just to brown. Then I put them in my crockpot, made up the sauce with my substitutions, and poured it over the thighs. I let it all simmer on high in the crockpot for around 4 hours. The sauce thickened up nicely without the cornstarch. Will use this recipe again. Would be lovely over just about any type of meat.

This is fantastic, and even if the list of the ingredients is long, you probably have it all in your kitchen. I cut up a whole chicken, as that is what I had and made it with that, bones in, because I was too lazy to take them out! Fantastic! Makes a lot of really tasty sauce too, plenty to put over rice and maybe broccoli. Tastes rather Asian to me, no doubt because of the ginger. This is a definite, easy, winner! Would be good with just a heap of wings too, or any other pieces you would have.
