But this is a darn good recipe.

And its MY favourite way of making Sweet & Sour Chicken in the oven.

But it is less than the 3/4 to 1 cup that youll see in many recipes.

Oven Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken - this recipe is not like the usual. The chicken is crispy, not dry and the sauce is not overly sweet but still really glossy and sticky!

Not eye-squintingly sour.I dont know how to properly describe my reaction when I accidentally eat something far too sour!

Suffice to say this is tart, not overly sour.

The Sauce tastes like restaurant sauce.Many Sweet & Sour Sauce recipes taste like theyre missing something.

Usually that something is either Worcestershire Sauce and/or oyster sauce (sometimes also soy sauce).

But this is pretty darn close.

Im really fussy about dry chicken!

It adds that little touch of fruitiness that I really think makes the sauce similar to Chinese restaurants!
