This is how I make Chinese takeout-style sweet and sour chicken at home. The key to this recipe is balancing the delicate marinade for the chicken breast pieces, a simple batter, and recreating that classic, vibrant red sweet and sour sauce that defines American Chinese restaurant cooking. While we use a double fry method to ensure the chicken holds up beautifully, the real star of this dish is the homemade sweet and sour sauce. It has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, instantly elevating the tender chicken pieces. Skip the delivery fee and make a version that tastes exactly like what you crave from your favorite restaurant. *TIMESTAMPS* 0:00 Intro 0:20 Marinate The Chicken 0:58 The Batter 1:50 Preheat The Cooking Oil 1:56 Dredge The Chicken 2:14 Fry The Chicken 4:25 The Sweet And Sour Sauce INGREDIENTS 2 lbs chicken breast 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 Tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp white pepper *BATTER* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/
