This recipe is fantastic! The sweet and sour sauce is perfectly balanced. My family loved it!
This was so good! My kids loved it, and they can be picky eaters!
Sounds good, but isn’t chicken with pineapple a bit weird? Not sure if I’ll try it.
Easy peasy chicken recipe! I added more garlic and it was delicious!
Sweet n sour chicken is my weakness! This recipe nails it. 10/10 recommend!
Really? I found it too sweet. Shouldn’t there be more vinegar in it?
Love this dish! It’s so easy to make and tastes just like in restaurants. Yum!
I tried making this but ended up burning the chicken. Not sure what I did wrong.
Honestly, too sweet for my taste. Maybe I’ll cut down the sugar next time.
I totally agree! It was way too sugary. I like a little sweetness, but this was over the top. Next time, I’ll definitely reduce the sugar too!
