Sweet and Sour Chicken
This is my Auntie Anne’s recipe, and apparently she’s been making it for over 30 years now. Originally she got the recipe from an American friend and this explains why it is not a traditional Chinese recipe. It is however one of the tastiest chicken dishes that I know and extremely easy to prepare.
You’ll need:
Marinade overnight/for a few hours
Cooking time: 1 hour and fifteen minutes.
10 pieces chicken
4 tbsp apricot jam
1 regular bottle of (lite) soy sauce
How to:
Wash the chicken in cold water and pat dry with a paper cloth. Arrange the chicken in a deep container and set aside. Then in a saucepan put four big tablespoons of apricot jam and a bottle of soy sauce. Bring to the boil and taste. If too salty add more jam, or if too sweet a little more soy. Then marinade the chicken overnight, or for a few hours at least. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 325 F and place the chicken with the marinade in an oven pan, and cook for about 1 ¼ hours . Check on the chicken and turn the pieces over so that they brown evenly, about halfway through the cooking process. I usually serve this chicken dish with plain white rice.
