Introduction
Sweet and sour chicken is a beloved classic that perfectly balances tangy, sweet, and savory flavors. This baked version is healthier than traditional frying but just as delicious — crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a vibrant sauce. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that pairs beautifully with steamed rice or stir-fried veggies.
Ingredients:

Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing
