This is BY FAR the best homemade sweet and sour chicken recipe I have ever had. I prefer it to takeout. The sauce is incredible! It tastes just as good, if not better, than any restaurant! Try it and see for yourself. You will want this great recipe in your regular dinner rotation.
Ingredients in Sweet and Sour Chicken
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (boneless, skinless chicken thighs can also be used) Pineapple chunks or tidbits Red bell pepper Onion Eggs Cornstarch Cooking oil Sweet and sour sauce
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Sweet and sour sauce is one of my very favorite dipping sauces, which is why we always double or even triple the sauce recipe. The flavor is just so good! We love using it for dipping egg rolls, pot stickers, wontons, and even spooning it over rice. Sweet and sour sauce is so easy to make and just uses a few easy ingredients:
Ketchup Sugar Soy sauce Cider vinegar Salt
If you want to make the sauce separately, just combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan. Once it starts simmering, combine a little cornstarch with water and whisk it in slowly until it thickens (see recipe below).
For Extra Dipping Sauce:
To prepare extra sauce for dipping, prepare the sauce according to the recipe with doubled ingredients. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, then simmer the other half in a small saucepan for 10-15 minutes. If you want to thicken the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. About 5 minutes before serving, SLOWLY whisk in cornstarch mixture to simmering sauce until the consistency is where you want it. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.
