Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • red food coloring, optional
  • 24 oz. package frozen popcorn chicken

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to temperature on the popcorn chicken package. Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup and soy sauce to a saucepan. Whisk together. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add to the saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Set aside.
  • Once oven preheats, cook popcorn chicken according to package directions. Remove from oven and toss with desired amount of sweet and sour sauce. You will most likely have some leftover. Keep remaining sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
