Easy to make Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken made from a few store cupboard ingredients, although I would recommend using proper Shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)
This post may contain affiliate links, as an Amazon Associate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases but of course, at no extra cost to you.I love sweet and sour chicken in batter, but sometimes you either can't be bothered to mess about.
Besides, this is better for you! Although I did make sweet and sour chicken in the Actifry which is very similar but with far fewer calories than regular sweet and sour chicken.
If you do make this, please be sure to marinate the chicken; don't leave that bit out as it really makes a difference to the chicken.
Top Tip!
You can now buy Shaoxing or Shaohsing Chinese rice wine in Sainsbury's. It's in their World food part of the store.
When I was pregnant all I ever wanted to eat was sweet and sour chicken balls!! Will definately try this one Louise xx

ReplyDeleteEven better with fresh pineapple too.
Yummie yummie yummie,:)!!!
ReplyDeleteThese look so much better than the greasy, premade junk that they serve at the local Chinese restaurant around campus.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
This is almost the same way that I prepare my S & S chicken too...sans batter. The flavours can't be beat:D
ReplyDeleteJan, you're quite versatile in the kitchen...from Chinese to Greek, Indian and pub grub...delish indeedy!
ReplyDeleteI ate it. Super...... Super.......
ReplyDeleteoh my this looks good.. but i do prefer the battered chicken. i use cornstarch so the batter isn't as thick than when using flour.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than the chinese takeaway Jan - it looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis looks easy and good!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Jan! Reminds me of a similar dish my mother would make for us years ago!
ReplyDeleteI love sweet and sour anything Jan. Your chicken looks delicious! Who needs batter! All those extra calories!
ReplyDeleteI also like the battered sweet and sour, but it's fabulous without too, and healthier. This looks great, Jan.
