Personal Notes:
This recipe is pretty involved, once you get going you need to keep going. I have found it is helpful to have all my ingredients cut or dissolved and ready to go before I start cooking. this way I am not stressed while in the middle of cooking!

This Sweet and Sour Chicken is different and delicious. I am not a fan of "restaurant" sweet and sour chicken (I hate the red sauce!) but this is different so if you're like me in this regard try this recipe. I bet you'll love it!
