For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a portion of the sweet and sour sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preferred level of sweetness. A touch of soy sauce can also add depth to the sauce. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra touch.
