I've made this recipe a lot over the years. Other than adding a tiny bit of sliced onions or shallots, I don't deviate from the recipe. There is a nice balance of sweet and sour. To finish the dish, I serve it over rice made with chicken stock instead of water. Be warned that if you're used to the battered chicken and radioactive red sauce you usually find in Chinese food restaurants, you're in for a change here. The chicken, if cooked properly, should be moist and browned. The sauce will take on the color of the brown sugar. My family and friends have always looked forward to the results of this recipe. It has a wonderful flavor that truly deserves five stars.

Looking at the "review" below mine, I must ask that people not use this area to comment on the show, host, or a recipe you haven't made. While the Food Network doesn't have forums for opinions, this certainly isn't the area to post what you think about an untried recipe. The whole purpose of reviews is to inform others based on your own experience, not to say that something you haven't made looks delicious.

Yeah this does deserve it's 5 stars. Granted it's not breaded and fried and the sauce isn't as sticky as Chinese food S&S chicken, BUT it's really tasty in its own right. I really haven't found much to add or take away from this because it works so well. Onions, I did add some onions. I'm sure you could easily do this with pork or shrimp as well. I put it over rice and it's a wonderful meal, chicken, veggies and fruit. Worth a try if you're a sweet and sour chicken fan.

After trying this recipe, I can see why it was given a 5 star rating. I made it and my family loved it. I wouldn't change a thing - it has all the right ingredients and the right amounts. No more expensive store bought sweet and sour chicken for me! Judy in Easton, PA

This recipe was very easy to make and turned out perfect. My whole family enjoyed it. I liked that I had most of the ingredients already in my pantry. I'll be making this again and again.

I did omit the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and cooked my chicken in cooking spray. I used only green pepper. It still tasted great and saved some fat and calories.

I was skeptical about whether this would taste authentic and it did! It was wonderful - I added about 4 T of soy sauce and about 1/2 c chopped onion. Delicious!
