Tips

-You can buy sweet and sour sauce in bottle but if there is no available you can make your own, here is how: 1 cup of catsup, 1 table spoon of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of corn flour. Mix them all together. 

- be sure to lower down the heat before putting in the chicken when frying, the breadcrumbs can burn easily.  

- I recommend Sharwood sweet and sour sauce (this is not an advert)
