Here is a very popular dish on a Chinese menu, often called shredded chilli chicken, its one of the most ordered as asked for dished for us to cook, the sauce is very similar to sweet and sour, but has a rich deeper flavour with a really nice chilli kick, you can make this with out the chilli of course, but it makes this pop in our eyes. We’ve done an air fryer version of this before which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI1wqwfc7PE
