I made a few changes to the recipe. Instead of using the red wine I used equal parts beef broth and grape juice. And then I added a splash of apple cider vinegar. I also used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the bone-in thighs. I thought 20 oz. of soy sauce seemed like a lot too, so I went with a bit less- probably about 15 oz. And I didn't use the fresh plum slices or green onions. Okay, so I guess I made more than a few changes to the recipe!
Overall we thought the chicken was really yummy! As far as cooking instructions I did just what the PW suggested. The chicken was really tender and had a great flavor throughout. My kids gobbled it up, which made it a winner in my book. I liked the Asian flavor of the soy sauce, but next time would maybe use even less soy sauce, or maybe try using a reduced sodium soy sauce. And I would also like to see how much difference it would make to use all grape juice and no beef broth. The soy sauce flavor was a bit strong, and you only needed a tiny bit of the sauce on the noodles, but I really liked the fruitiness that came through in the sauce as well.

Good to hear yours turned out greeat. I need to make it again using less soy sauce and the plum preserves and maybe grape juice instead of apple juice. Thanks for the review.
