    I made these and LOVE THEM.
    I wasn't sure about the chicken so I cut it up in small pieces after marinating it...turned out WONDERFUL.
    I doubled the cooking sauce and used it for dipping YUM !
    I am going to try it with Ground Chicken next time so it's closer to PF Changs consistency...but I give this one a 10 !!!
