"Excellent! The taste of the sauce is what made this dish phenominal, not its thickness. There's plenty of liquid/sauce left over and would make for an amazing marinade. Sauce consistency aside, this dish is a 10." - sgoodwin87

first time I made this I had read the reviews and reduced orange juice and stock to 3/4 cup each. The result was fabulous! It's quick and easy, healthy and tasty. Definite winner and kids love it.
