Chicken recipes are endless and varied, but this one holds a special place in our hearts.
This sweet and sour chicken recipe is like finding money in a pair of pants you haven't worn since last summer, and on top of that, the pants not only fit, but look better.
This sweet and sour chicken is like that morning when, for no apparent reason, you decided to walk to the subway instead of taking the bus, and just as you arrived at work, you found out there was a 10-block roadblock on the avenue where the bus goes.
I swear this sweet and sour chicken is like going to buy that pair of sneakers you want and then, without realizing it, your card gets a discount at that store that day.
This sweet and sour chicken is like running into your ex on the very day you're feeling gorgeous, with that glow that comes when you're over someone.
Yes, all these sensations can be experienced in a single recipe. It even takes 15 minutes to make.
I'm so clever that sometimes it hurts.
Check out the recipe on Instagram , and follow me because I upload a lot of quality content (that is, nonsense to watch on the bus).
About this super quick sweet and sour chicken recipe
There's not much science to this recipe; the truth is that you can make it with breast, leg, or thigh.
Obviously, it will be tastier with breast, as always, but you can also make it with pieces of chicken you have around.
It is important that when you prepare the marinade, you let it rest for at least 20 minutes, and always in the refrigerator!
It's raw chicken, don't leave it on the counter because it will make you sick!
The best thing about this recipe is how quick it is, once you let it sit, it takes 10 to 15 minutes in the pan at most!
Seriously, trust me, the chicken cooks quickly , especially if it's cut into pieces. So, don't overdo it with the heat because the soy sauce will become too concentrated and won't be suitable for you.
Try it and then tell me!
Greetings and until next

Sweet and sour chicken recipe
in 3 steps!
- First, we'll cut the chicken into cubes or dice, as evenly as possible so they cook evenly. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, a little grated ginger, and the sauce. Mix and sprinkle with cornstarch, mix again, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
- After resting, place it in a pan over high heat. Don't touch it. You'll see it begin to caramelize and brown; then stir it to turn it over. This sweet and sour chicken takes between 10 and 15 minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it!
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with a salad. Be happy.
This is the color of happiness

Any soy sauce replacement for those who can't consume much sodium?
It's great, but for those who haven't seen the video (like me), it's two teaspoons of cornstarch... not two tablespoons. And don't put too much salt in the poio because the soy is already quite salty.
You're a genius!! My chicken turned out amazing. There are thousands of recipes everywhere, but the best thing about you is that you choose the tastiest and easiest ones. Even my little brother loved it!
