The cult 2-ingredient Sweet 'N' Sour hack that's been dubbed the 'perfect lockdown dinner'

Using items from the freezer and pantry, you can make it any time! - by Nikki Black
  • 18 Mar 2020

It's the ultimate quick and easy meal that's been dubbed the 'perfect lockdown dinner' during Australia's Coronavirus crisis.

Why? Because you only need two ingredients - from your freezer and pantry - which means you can make it any time, without hitting the supermarkets for fresh ingredients. 

The cult 2-ingredient Sweet 'N' Sour hack that's been dubbed the 'perfect lockdown dinner'

Said one mum on social media: 'The 2-ingredient sweet and sour chicken hack is actually perfect for lockdown because you can keep it all in your freezer and pantry. It's gold.'

Using just two budget-friendly supermarket ingredients - Kan Tong Sweet ‘N’ Sour Cooking Sauce and Steggles Chicken Breast Crackle - it’s the super easy dinner that literally takes minutes to make. 

The method? You simply bake the Chicken Crackle in the oven to the packet instructions - once it’s cooked, you add it to the Kan Tong sauce that’s been heating on a saucepan on the stove top and stir to combine. And it’s as simple as that!

It’s a cult dinner amongst Aussie mums after first being posted on the always fabulous Mum Who Cook & Bake Facebook group.

Says one mum: ‘Jumped on the Sweet & Sour chicken crackle train tonight and my lord its delicious!’

Said another: ‘Tried out the famous sweet & sour chicken crackle last night.. delicious! Air fried two boxes of tempura chicken breast crackles, mixed into a pan with 2 jars of sweet and sour sauce, added an onion and a carrot to the mix, served with uncle tobys no fail rice, delicious! 👌 easy dinner and super yummy. Highly recommend.’
