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!

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. 

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.
