Notes
When frying, mix the chicken around occasionally to avoid it sticking together. I usually add between 3 to 5 pieces at a time, but this depends on the size of your wok or pan.
If you like a lot of sauce in your sweet and sour chicken, then you may want to double the sauce ingredients.
Want To Bake The Chicken?
If you don't want to fry the chicken, you could bake it in the oven. To do this, simply preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) and bake the chicken in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is crispy on the outside and cooked throughout. To get a crispy edge on all sides, turn the chicken pieces around halfway. Once cooked, proceed to fry the vegetables, add the sauce and then add the chicken pieces.Nutrition
