About Sweet-and-sour chicken

Sweet-and-Sour Chicken is a popular Chinese-American dish known for its perfect balance of tangy and savory flavors. Typically made with bite-sized pieces of crispy, deep-fried chicken coated in a glossy sauce, it combines sweetness from sugar or honey with the zest of vinegar and often includes ketchup or soy sauce for depth. It's commonly served with colorful vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and pineapple chunks, adding freshness and a hint of natural sweetness. While this dish provides protein from the chicken and vitamins from the vegetables, its calorie count can be high due to deep frying and added sugars in the sauce. To make a healthier version, opt for baking or stir-frying the chicken and reducing the sugar content in the sauce. Sweet-and-Sour Chicken offers a flavorful entree that highlights the fusion of Cantonese cuisine with Western influences.
