Directions
Sweet and Sour Chicken, I found the recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork in What’s Cooking Chinese and altered it a bit to use chicken instead. It’s very tasty and addicting, and makes an excellent family dinner., I have been using this recipe for a while now and I love it. You really do need to prepare everything before the cooking starts. If I am in a hurry then I just stir fry the chicken without doing the batter, but the sauce is a staple! Thank you for sharing this!, use a different sauce recipe (fix-it-and-forget-it sweet and sour chicken) that I cook in the crockpot all day and when the family is really in a hurry I just dice up the chicken breasts and throw them in in the morning as well. But for those occasions when I have the time I make the breaded chicken chunks using this recipe. AND THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!!! Better than Chinese takeout, because I control the ingredients, I really pump up the veggie quotient (one whole onion, one large green pepper and 3 carrots, all diced) and fry these babies up. My family never asks for Chinese buffet anymore and for that I’m glad! I’d like to mention that getting the consistency just right was really important to me. use about 3/4 c of water and it’s like a loose pancake batter. I don’t like the breading to be really thick and this seems to me to be perfect!!! THANK YOU!!!
