Just a few years ago, chicken in sweet and sour sauce was considered an extremely complicated dish that only professionals could cook. But every year, Chinese cuisine has become more and more part of our culture, and people have taken a completely different look at the technology of its preparation.
For example, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver says that there is nothing complicated about cooking chicken in sweet and sour sauce. He told The Sun how easy it is to cook and not spend a lot of time.
