This Chinese chicken dish is an all-time favorite because it is crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside. The sticky sweet and sour sauce adds tanginess and makes it completely addicting!

This Sweet and Sour Chicken preparation needs the following tools:

Wok- Excellent for rapid cooking on high heat. This wok is perfect for anybody who enjoys preparing Chinese food or frying in general. I use this Cuisinart for the majority of my non-cast iron cooking, except when using stainless steel, in which case I use my Best.

Low Sodium Soy Sauce- I find regular soy sauce much too salty; remember, I can always add salt but not remove it. By beginning with a reduced salt intake, you may adjust to your preferences as needed.

Frying Spider Strainer: This frying spider strainer is the fastest and simplest method to scoop out cooked food without losing time or removing excess oil from the pan. You won’t have to worry about burning bits as you would with a smaller filter, and it’s very affordable. Almost all of my little fried things are made using it.

Tips:

*If you want to serve this Chinese sweet and sour chicken with veggies, such as broccoli or sugar snap peas, add them after the chicken is covered with the sauce and cook for a few minutes, or until crisp-tender.

* While this recipe calls for chicken breasts, thighs may be used instead. You do, however, desire thighs that are boneless and skinless. I would avoid using bone-in chicken in this Chinese sweet and sour chicken meal.
