Sweet 'n Sour Chicken image

Sweet and sour dishes are so versatile! All you need are the basics and then just add what you like or have on hand.If you like this, put more of it in, if you don't like that, don't put so much in. As long as you are happy with the sauce, you can add baby sweet corn on the cob, baby sweet gherkins, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, carrots or bell peppers (try using multi colors!). Just have fun creating!

I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour sauce, but I loved this recipe. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the crispy chicken.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted it with mango in the sauce. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I shredded and used in the recipe, and it turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it a bit.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the sauce.

I've tried many Sweet and Sour Chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this recipe!
