Sweet-Sour Chicken Dippers image

Meet the Cook: Since you can chop up all the ingredients the night before, this can be ready in about 30 minutes. So it's a great after-work dinner. You can also serve it as a snack or an appetizer...similar to chicken nuggets. I've even substituted quail for the chicken, and it was delicious. Next, I may try it with pork! -Kari Caven, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken dippers were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
