- Canola oil, to cook
- 1 small onion, roughly diced

Directions

Puree mixture and check for seasoning. In another sauce pot filled 1/3 full of oil, heat to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, cayenne and sesame seeds.

The recipe looked good, until I made it. The sweet-sour sauce tasted like warm pineapples and the batter for the chicken didn't stick to the chicken, it stuck to the pan, while they still tasted okay it was a mediocre recipe. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone

I made this when I was looking for something fun to eat, tasty, and not demanding a lot of sides to make a meal. This was perfect and everyone really enjoyed it, including the kids. There was a lot of sauce left over so I modified it a bit and made sweet and sour pork with it. Delicious. Two great meals from one recipe is hard to beat.
