BEST EVER SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
I found this recipe in 1973 in the 1973 National Chicken Cooking Contest book, when we were college students and had to make one chicken last three meals. I have been making this sauce for 38 years and still going strong! The original recipe listed a whole chicken, baked and boned by hand! Now we can buy chicken breasts! Frozen works great, too.
