This looks just like our sweet and sour but with the added chinese five spice. You actually don't need the five spice, it's too much or a couple of the other ingredients.

I love chicken and I love just about anything Asian, so I knew I would love this recipe and I did! My friend and I had this for dinner along with Recipe #294635. It was an excellent meal and the chicken had just the right amount of heat and sweetness for us! I will be having this again and again! Thank you for sharing Bmcnichol!
