This was so good and so easy! I had everything on hand. My 18 month old even loved it!

Very tasty! Just like takeout. I did double the recipe, because I had extra chicken. Replaced sherry with worchestshire sauce, used orange juice for the second cup of juice and did not double the sugar. I along with other reviewers added the pineapple chunks in the end. Also added a splash of sriracha sauce for kick. Definitely a keeper!

This was delicious! We just finished eating it and we all said "this is a keeper" ! Normally not one to go for sweet and sour dishes, I was VERY pleasantly surprised at the taste of this. It's wonderful!!! Thanks for a great recipe!
*****Edited to add , I didn't use the 2 cups of oil to fry the chicken. It just sounded like SO much. I just put maybe 2 Tblsp of oil in the bottom of my pan and stir fried the chicken. It worked out just fine. Thanks again for a new favorite recipe!!!

Very good! My wife said this was the best I've made. Followed the recipe with the exception of some sliced celery and red pepper for color and a clove of garlic minced. Also did not use all the cornstarch mixture. Very tasty. thank you for sharing.
