This is a very hassle free dish except for the frying of the chicken pieces. For the sauce, I used 3 off-the-shelf ones which I normally keep stock at home. My kids love sweet and sour sauces so I usually make various versions with different ingredients. As for the chicken pieces, I only use flour, salt and pepper.
The sweetened plum sauce which I purchased from Sheng Siong if you are living in Singapore. Don't use too much of these because this is pretty sweet.
Maggi ketchup and chilli sauce. If you want spicier flavour, you can use other brands like sinsin extra spicy chilli sauce.
