Meet the Cook: Since you can chop up all the ingredients the night before, this fried sweet and sour chicken can be ready in about 30 minutes. So, it's a great after-work dinner. You can also serve it as a snack or an appetizer...similar to chicken nuggets. I've even substituted quail for the chicken, and it was delicious. Next, I may try it with pork! —Kari Caven, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
