Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

Pan fried chicken cubes served with a sweet and sour sauce.

Pretty good recipe for a Chinese food lover like me. Easy ingredients too!! BUT I think it should say from the begining to KEEP the Pinapple juice in a container for use in sauce. I almost discharged mine!!

Absolutely the best sweet and sour chicken recipe I’ve ever tried. My husband and I thought it was delicious. One comment about the directions: the amount of water to add to the chicken batter is a little hard to interperate.

my first thought when i tasted this: “oh my god did i just make that??” this was amazing! the batter has a really good flavor. i added in extra pepper and salt.
