this was so fantastic. Very very delicious. The perfect tasting sweet and sour and tangy sauce. I have been searching for a good sauce for a long time, and lo and behold, I find it when I wasn't even looking for it. I just wanted a fast meal LOL. I think it's the ketchup that's the difference, I'm not sure. But it is great. I didn't cut up the chicken, I just used tenders and coated them and fried them, and put them on brown rice and spooned the sauce over top. I had never heard of using cornstarch as a coating, either, and it was really good. I only used a couple tablespoons of oil to cook the meat in, so it wasn't truly 'fried chicken'. But this was delicious. Fantastic.
