The fiddling of the frying and the turning every 15 minutes is worth every ounce of effort when you take the first bite. Your recipe has replaced my own. This is the only sweet and sour chicken I make now. Thanks again for sharing!

This is still my favorite recipe that I have made (many times) from Tasty Kitchen!! So worth the effort!! (and gets easier every time you make it!!)

This is my favorite recipe from Tasty Kitchen. Like the others, it is definitely worth the first portion of making it and it truly does get easier. Tastes better than most of the sweet and sour chicken at chinese restaurants.

This is one of the only things that everyone in my house will for sure eat! After the first couple of times making it, it goes together very easily.

This is the best recipe on Tasty Kitchen! And Mary is right-it gets easier everytime you make it. My honey asks for this for dinner at least one night a week and requests it for lunch on the weekends. It’s delicious. I only use 1/2 of sugar instead of 3/4 in the sauce though.

This was absolutely delicious. Certainly a little messy in the prep, but totally worth it. I didn’t have Garlic salt, so I minced up a large garlic clove and added that. I also thinly sliced some red pepper and placed it on top of the chicken for the last 15/20 mins or so. It added even more flavor.
Also- I may have cut my pieces too small, but I only needed 45 mins in the oven. The sauce is simple and delicious as well.

I’ve never left a comment or review on here before, but I had to for this! It was AMAZING! Everyone in the house inhaled it, and my husband has already asked me to make it again. It was worth every second of prep work. It tastes better than the takeout kind.

This recipe is great. It’s a little work-intensive, but it is certainly easy and I got the feeling it was hard to mess up. It turned out to be really delicious, my husband liked it. Next time I’ll experiment with a little less sugar.

This recipe tastes delicious. It is a little high maintenance, yes, but it tastes great! I added some red pepper flakes to the sauce before pouring it over the chicken to give it a little kick. I served it over rice with some steamed asparagus. A great meal!

I just have to post a review because I love this recipe! I got it from Melanie’s website (love that too!) and it’s become a staple in our household. Definitely the best sweet and sour chicken I’ve ever made!

I am a sweet and sour snob. It’s hard to find a recipe that taste like a restaurant versions , but this one is great and sooooo good.

Just made this for dinner, was SO GOOD!!!! The way the chicken is cooked initially is exactly how my family makes “Ricotta.” Sliced ricotta fried up, flour then egg.
I didn’t have cornstarch so I used flour and then after it was cooked I made another batch of sauce and poured in the sauce from the pan. I added flour to thicken and it was PERFECT!
Thanks for the recipe, It’s bookmarked.

Boy does this sound wonderful, perfect for that chicken in the freezer with sushi rice.
Could you make it with pork I wonder?

Yum! I love sweet and sour chicken. I saved this and am going to have to make some!
mskow on 9.15.2009
WOW! This was sooo good. I made it tonight for dinner and my husband said, “This is the best sweet and sour chicken I have ever had!” My kids really liked it too! I added steamed broccoli and carrots to the mix for some veggie power. Thanks for sharing!

I made this last night for dinner, and after the chicken had been cooking in the sauce for ~15 minutes, I realized I had forgotten to put the sugar in! So I squeezed in about a 1/4 cup of honey. It helped, plus I did make the extra recipe of sauce on the stove top WITH the sugar, which definitely saved it. Overall, delicious!!! I added sauteed green peppers and onions (tradition for S&S chicken in my book) and think pineapple would be good to. Thanks for a fantastic recipe and I promise to get it right next time!
