Restaurant style sweet and sour chicken. You can also make this with pork or shrimp. This takes some time in preparation but you can also use frozen chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken instead of frying your own to make it go quicker.
What you’ll need:
2 carrots, sliced paper thin
1 green pepper, rough chopped
1/2 onion, rough chopped
8oz can of pineapple chunks
1-1/2 lbs chicken breasts cut into 1″ pieces
For the batter:
1/3 cup AP flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 cup water
For the sauce:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp ketchup
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp red food coloring (optional)
3 Tbsp cornstarch
To prepare the chicken: Combine batter ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces to batter and stir to coat. Fry in 350* vegetable or peanut oil for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is cooked thoroughly. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
To prepare the sauce: Stir all ingredients together and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2-3 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, green pepper and onion. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until just done. Do not brown. Add the sauce mixture and pineapple. Bring just to a boil to thicken. Add chicken pieces and stir to coat. Serve over white or fried rice and enjoy!
***if you use frozen chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken, precook before adding to the cooked sauce.

It creates me pain when seing you cutting on a stone surface. For the saftey of cutting, and the preservation of knife sharpnes, please use hardwood board.
Wow!!!!
Looks terrific! It looks like even a mildly retarded amateur chef like me could do it. Thanks a million!
Thanks so much did this came out amazing send love from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Every time that knife blade hits the cutting board I'm like ouch! Why not save the knife and use a wooden board?
If wash them don’t have to peel them
6 years ago I tryed the first time. I stil use that recipe. It's fantastic. Thank you
Made this the other day. The whole dish was so yummy 😋! Especially the sauce .
buy yourself a wood cutting board, your knives will thank you
Thanks a lot , I’ve just made it , it was really amaaaaaaaazing .
Don u have healthy recipe without corn starch or flour ?? For example by using almond flour or by using butter instead of oil to fry with .
Thanks again
More American food.
Learn to use a knife before you injure yourself. My 5-year-old has better knife skills.
I hope you don't think there is anything remotely Chinese about this!
Your pan is painfully too small. Buy a wok. They are cheap.
Serve that crap in China and they'll shoot you!
I can’t with that so called cutting board
HAAAAAANK HAAAAAAANK GET THE SWEET AND SOURCE HAAAAANK NOT BARBECUE HAAAAAAAAAAANK
Good but not like the restaurants round here where they serve it with a lot more jelly like sauce 😐.
It's not authentic Chinese… But is a quick whip… And tastes good.
.simple..
Lolol…..look at the three carrots stuck to the wooden spoon.
GRANITE CUTTING BOARD??????!!!!!!!! You must like sharpening knives…
more ketchup instead of red food colouring
Yummy
Buy a Wok. Never use food colouring, just use more ketchup.
Very good video. I will be making this soon 🙂
OUCH! As a knife, I beg of you, please stop assaulting my breathren with that hard marble board. The blade doesn't stand a chance.
Excellent recipe, tried it out today and it was gone in minutes.
Thank you
Great recipe. Just made it. I used your other sauce recipe w/o ketchup.
The chicken batter makes great chicken nuggets. I made extra chicken to eat by itself, or other ways.
Hello Jason. I hope all is well with u and ur loved ones. I'm hoping to make this dish this weekend. Yours by far is the best. Easy to follow.
ever heard of cutting on wooden plate? will save you some knife sharpening
I owe you so many comments and thanks. You are my go to chef and
recipes. I have made many of your recipes and they have now become the only recipes that I use. My family and I love your recipes especially this sweet and sour chicken. Majority of my life, I've never been a fan of it, since making your recipe, I love it. Many thanks to you for all that you do to help us create amazing dishes, desserts and every other amazing dish you taught us to make. 😊 ❤
This is the best sweet and sour video on the net been following this recipe since i was 10 Im now nearly 20
thank you a lot
If you keep the S&S sauce and chicken separate and then pour the S&S sauce over the deep fried battered chicken pieces (at the very end) the chicken will stay crispy longer and won't absorb the S&S sauce like a sponge. I like my chicken pieces crispy when I eat my S&S chicken but that's just more personal preference I guess.
Great video and step by step walk through on how to make S&S chicken!
Easy peasy and delicious to .Great recipe
Thank you for sharing but you're killing me with the blade on granite.
I know this is 10 years old, but please for fuck sake don’t use knives on that type of chopping board…
Disagree on the rare/raw vegetables…you may like rare, but not everyone….I cook them longer before adding the sauce so that everyone can chew them, especially Grandparents
Splendid dinner the best recipe so far
I’ll be sticking to this as my go-to
Greetings and Thank you from England
