Sweet and Sour Chicken is a popular dish with origins in Chinese cuisine, though it has been adapted in various forms worldwide. This flavorful dish typically features bite-sized pieces of chicken, battered and fried until crispy, then coated in a tangy sauce made from a combination of vinegar, sugar, and ketchup or fruit juice. Often paired with colorful bell peppers, pineapple chunks, and onions, its vibrant flavor strikes a balance between sweet and savory. While the dish is celebrated for its bold taste and appealing textures, it is traditionally calorie-dense due to the frying process and sugar-rich sauce. Opting for baked or grilled chicken, reducing added sugars, or increasing the ratio of fresh vegetables can make it a healthier option. Sweet and Sour Chicken is a comforting and versatile meal that pairs well with steamed rice or noodles, offering a satisfying blend of textures and flavors.
