    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    This is legit the best sweet n sour chicken recipe! It was put on this blog many years ago and I've made it countless times all these years.  My husband requests it often and my kids gobble it all down. I know you will feel the same.  Sweet n Sour Chicken served with rice in bowls and in a halved pineapple
    The sauce is perfect, not too sweet and not to tangy. Pepper and onions add the most delicious flavors with the sweet pineapple. Top it on rice and it's very filling and satisfying.
