Well. Flavor is food. Sauce is runny. And chicken was not crispy. When you said corn flour, did you mean corn starch?? I used corn flour and it came out gritty. Will try again with corn starch and see if that works

Hey Jennie! Glad to hear the flavour is good but a shame that the chicken didn't go crispy, and the issue with the corn flour! Was the chicken crispy before adding it into the sauce? Also, I sometimes find with corn flour that if you put it through a sieve while you're stirring it through the sauce, it thickens the sauce without being too gritty. Hope it helps for next time - appreciate the feedback!!

The name is carrot salad but there are no carrots in the method or ingredients?

Nice taste but I like more saucy dinners, not much sauce once chicken was added
