I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour chicken, but I tried this recipe and it was actually really good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me. I'll have to reduce the amount of chili sauce next time.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted it with mango. It turned out great!

This is the worst sweet and sour chicken recipe I've ever tried. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.
