My mom used to make this when I was younger -- it was always a family favorite. Now, I make it for my boyfriend; he enjoys it better than the Chinese Restaurant versions. Be sure to season the chicken overnight -- it gives the chicken all its flavor.

This is the best sweet and sour chicken recipe I've ever had. The chicken is crispy and juicy, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken didn't turn out crispy. It was still good, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also too sweet for my taste.
