Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

We adapted this recipe from my Mom’s friend, Dianne and combined it with a similar recipe from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. It was delicious, even my kids loved it! This is BY FAR the best homemade sweet and sour chicken recipe I have ever had. The sauce is awesome– just as good if not better than any restaurant! Try it and see for yourself. You will want this recipe in your regular dinner rotation!

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. 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:

KetchupSugarSoy SauceCider Vinegarand 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).
