Sweet and Sour Chicken (甜酸鸡)

Sweet and sour pork is an old time favourite.  Heard of sweet and sour fish but not sweet and sour chicken.  I like sweet and sour dishes and this was book-marked a long time ago when I saw it at Sonia's blog and I never regretted trying out. 

Deep-fried dishes probably has a special appeal to many as they are usually tastier and quite popular amongst young and old....

So let's forget about the calories and enjoy this with a bowl of white rice ....
