For a great sweet and sour chicken recipe, look no further! I made this twice and my husband said twice (each time) that this recipe is a keeper!! The 1st time I made it, I forgot to use eggs, but it was still delicious!! Also, I didn’t need the full cup of corn starch, so I cut back on it the 2nd time. As for the sugar, I used a bit less than the recipe suggested. Both times (about 15 mins into the cooking time) I added some veggies that were in my fridge, like broccoli and red peppers, or green beans. I made Basmati rice on the side and I doubled the sauce both times. For just the 2 of us, 3 chicken breasts were plenty leaving us with a small amount of leftovers. My husband had 2 nice size servings, I had 1 average serving. I’d say this recipe would serve 3 (normal portion eaters) just fine. But, because it’s so delicious and the leftovers are even better, I’d go with a chicken breast per person. Also, this recipe is for people who actually don’t mind cooking a little bit. Once in the oven, you have an hour to clean up any mess which makes after dinner clean up so much easier! Enjoy!!

I cooked this recipe using my own sauce, however, the chicken was super simple and everything went together beautifully!! And, of course, it was delicious – I won’t be ordering much chinese at this rate! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic! I am ditching the recipe I have used for years for this one. I totally forgot about the egg (found them in the dish ready for battering after putting the chicken in the oven). We did not miss it one bit, so now I just throw the chicken and cornstarch in a ziploc bag to cover the chicken pieces. Simple. I also add red and green peppers, carrots and onions and we put it over quinoa.

I’ve never really tried my hand at homemade Chinese food until I tried this recipe. It is delicious! It takes a little bit of work but its so worth it in the end!

Do I use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar?

I to am wondering if this sour and sour chicken can be frozen in a seal a meal bag?Heated later for use. Does it need to be prepared as instructed first to freeze?

I’m going to experiment with this tonight and see what works as far as freezing it.

Has anyone frozen this? How would you recommend doing this?

How would i freeze this? Should i cook it all and then freeze it? I would really like to make this to prove to my husband I’m not a horrible cook, and I’m making 50 freezer meals in a day because we are busy and don’t get home until 7:30 at night. Thanks in advance!
