Instructions
Step 1
To make the sweet and sour sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a pan and bring up to a boil and stir until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
Step 2
Pop the chicken into a bowl, along with the seasoning and cornflour, then mix well.
Step 3
Make the batter by whisking together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, water and milk.
Step 4
Dip the chicken into the batter and then straight into oil heated to 170c. Cook the chicken balls for 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 75°c. Once cooked, drain onto some kitchen paper.

Serve the crispy balls along with a portion of fried rice and the sweet-and-sour sauce.
