Skip the takeaway - This sweet and sour chicken recipe is so good that you'll be putting it in a constant rotation. Chicken is cooked in a sweet and sticky sauce and baked to perfection.
Years ago, I worked in an office where they brought lunch every day. I often skipped lunch and opted to go home for the lunch hour instead, but every now and then I would walk around and eat some of the lunch that was provided that day.
