Easy Chinese takeout dish remake! Pan-fried sweet and sour chicken with a crispy coating and sweet tangy sauce made with 6 ingredients! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Sweet and sour pork was one of those dishes I always go when I went to Chinese banquets! I changed it up with using chicken instead for my recipe!
Recently, I shared a Sesame Chicken recipe, which inspired me to make this sweet and sour chicken recipe! Both of them are delicious and has a perfectly thick and sticky sauce that goes so well in lettuce wraps or on top of rice.
There’s no need to pan-fry and bake the chicken. Everything is made in one pan which makes it much easier! You’ll just need to coat it in egg and flour before pan-frying!

This recipe is coated in egg and an almond flour + cornstarch mixture! I used almond flour so it’s gluten-free. The cornstarch helps thicken up the sauce when cooked!
