This has got to be one who has the best look and presentation. As an Asian from Malaysia who is currently on lockdown due to Covid-19, this is the recipe I need. Stop searching for sweet and sour chicken recipe because this is it!! This is it!

So happy I've discovered your channel. I probably won't need any other recipe sites for ages now! I'm cooking this recipe for dinner tonight and ordering ingredients for quite a few more for the coming week. I love how straightforward your instructions are and how easy the dishes are to put together. No waffle either - which is a HUGE bonus! Videos that are under 5 mins are right up my street and you've taken so much legwork out of my weekly meal plans. Thank you for doing these videos - they're a huge help. xx

Thank you for putting the ingredients and the measurements in the description box

You are direct to the point, your methods are easy to follow, the ingredients for the sweet sour sauce are very resourceful (almost everything can be acquired in the pantry) and you have a calming presence.
Thanks for doing this video.

I cooked this tonight and it was a big hit.

It's amazing that although the sauce is mostly ketchup, it really tastes like proper restaurant sweet and sour. In fact, think I like it more than the restaurant kind because I find the restaurant kind can be a bit too "sour" for my liking, whereas this one is mostly "sweet".

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to coat the chicken pieces as it seemed to take me ages. I think it took me about 10 - 15 minutes to move about 30 pieces through all 3 stages of coating.

Once you've added rice this definitely serves 4 as promised, although it would also serve 3 large adult portions if you were particularly hungry.

Omg I made this last Saturday, I made it for my dinner, I couldn't stop eating it soon as I tasted it. My husband has a terrible diet "eats hardly anything" he wouldn't try it, I raced through to my neighbour, he loved it. Your recipes are delicious and easy to follow. Thanks Nicky xx

[mikestarz]

I just made your sweet and sour chicken recipe and this was the best ever really. I have tried many sweet and sour chicken Recipe from the you tube. I have to say that yours is the best one by far that I have ever made. I can say it was great, Thank You. I like that your video was short and to the point and easy to follow and your recipe was easy to find and follow. Thanks again.

Just made the sweet and sour chicken better then takeaway. Well I followed the recipe to the letter and what a brilliant dish. Hubby told me never getting a takeaway ever. I loved it so did he. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[unkrautgartenkeinnachname]

This is really a great recipe! I like how you did it all, simple, not too overcomplicated! Turned out great! For my taste, it was too much sugar, so I take half the sugar, since the pineaple ist also really sweet. I used frozen pineaple and that also worked great. I'm totally gonna check out your other recipes. Thank you for sharing this!

[profyousmithe]

[annbourbage]

I cooked this last night. It was a super hit with the family with requests to cook again. To receive any comment at all is exceptional! Thank you for the recipe. I'll be trying more.

[robinarden]

Hi! Your idea of wet and dry hand is ingenious! Love your recipes! I have cooked a lot of them, especially during the lockdown! My kids and husband are really happy! Thanks do much!

[ReadingforRest]

I like how you get down to business right away, and easy peasy directions... (so far!)....really enjoy your kitchen background... Chef Nicky!... (Bow to you, and your instant appeal!)... greetings from Canada!

I know what we're having for Friday night tea now, looks so tasty😋

[johnjenkins]

Made this today was lovely although I'd actually recommend dropping out most of the ginger if you want it to taste like a takeaway version. shop bought sweet and sour sauces always taste of ginger where takeaways usually wont. Still loved it this tho !

[nadiachaudhry]

Thank you for this recipe. My family love this and i’ve just made it. Super simple and could easily find everything in the pantry! 💛
