Sweet-Sour Chicken Dippers image

Meet the Cook: Since you can chop up all the ingredients the night before, this can be ready in about 30 minutes. So it's a great after-work dinner. You can also serve it as a snack or an appetizer...similar to chicken nuggets. I've even substituted quail for the chicken, and it was delicious. Next, I may try it with pork! -Kari Caven, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less sugar in the sauce and I would fry the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
