Yum, yum, yum. I've never had sweet and sour without ketchup in the recipe but this was divine. After we finished eating my husband said he was already craving more! So good!
Loved it. Great hit with my family. I accidentally put in 1/2 cup of corn flour instead of 1/4 into the batter, and so I ended up doubling the batter recipe. It probably gave the chicken extra coating and it was still so good. My husband complimented it all through dinner. Thanks!!
