Directions
1In a large bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. In a separate bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper then stir in cornstarch and eggs.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken until light golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Transfer chicken to crockpot and cover with the sweet and sour sauce.
3Stir to evenly coat the chicken, then let it cook on high for 3 hours (or low for 6 hours). Serve over your favorite brown rice or noodles.

Made today. As others said I halved the sugar. Added carrots and small onion wedges at start. Capsicum an hour later and pineapple with juice an hour after that. Tasted great. As good as any takeaway.

Salty. A recipe will always specify if it’s kecap manis (the sweet ‘soy’ kind of sauce). Soy sauce will always be the salty kind.

I made this today, with the only exception that I used plain white vinegar, as that was all I had. I cooked it for 3 hours on high. I thought it looked a look ‘plain’ at the end, so I threw in some frozen peas and carrots and served it to my husband over white rice. He thought it was good, so I will be generous and give it 5 stars!

No otherwise it would be specified in recipe. Wondering why yours turned out different to everyone elses? Did you do the cornstarch and egg coat and pre cook the chicken? Everything exactly as recipe requested?

Are you supposed to use the tea towel trick? I made this today and what a waste, so much liquid 😪 was looking forward all day to this

Yummy this is absolutely delicious 😋😍 Super simple recipe and super tasty. I added a can of pineapple pieces and the juice an hour before serving and it gave a lovely sweet taste to the end result. I also sprinkled some sesame seeds on top and served with white rice. Next time i will also add some chopped shallots. Very impressed with this one, thanks so much for sharing it with us Meg 😁

My family absolutely love this. I add a few extra vegetables but the meal itself is always a winner and never anything left . If there is any left the teenage son doesn’t allow it to last the night. Thankyou for this recipe 😊

Oh my goodness..! This was amazing. My kids said it was lolly dinner 👍🙌 cannot believe how perfect it was. I also only cooked it for 2 hours as I was short of time and it was fine, Chicken was cooked.

Very yummy scrummy. My family liked it alot. I think it would be good if the brown sugar were cut and replaced with chunk pineapple with juices included.

Cooked this recipe. Very good. I think it could be given a twist with some pineapple added in. Perhaps take out the brown sugar and add in both pineapple juice and the juice from the can.

Looks yummy! I am a little confused as the picture looks to have sesame seeds in it? Do you just sprinkle those on at the end?
Thanks!

Is it necessary to cook the chicken first or can you mix it with the cornstarch and eggs and chuck it straight in the slow cooker?
