Sweet and sour chicken balls is one of the most ordered items on a Chinese takeaway menu, every other order will have these on them without fail, so here is a recipe so you can make a quick sweet and sour sauce and Chinese takeout style chicken balls, this is also a recipe I've used in an actual takeaway before so its tried and tested. As always there are a couple of ways to make these, this is just one and yes we have made this recipe before, but like we've explained in a few videos, we're remaking them so there is more information as we missed some key points that you lot have asked about, so we wanted to make a better version of the old recipe video.

    Pushing 50 year old, Candadian, female here. I have been eating CHICKEN BALLS my entire life. Chicken fingers are entirely different.
  • @johnboughton7451
    Just dropped by to let you know that I followed your recipe to the letter and it was absolutely delicious I even watched how you carried the chicken from the batter to the frying oil & did what Mum said oil on first then prepared and fried I used boneless chicken thighs it was so nice my wife helped herself to a second portion thank you so much for taking the time to create such great content
  • @shellyboggs9093
    Love both you and mom. Her yelling out “ they do have balls”. Got me in stitches!!!
  • @dinxsy8069
    you guys had me in stitches, a comedic cooking show at it's finest.

    When my favourite local chinese takeaway closed down as the owners were retiring I was devastated. I'll have to give this a try at some point as I love Chicken and Pork balls. Looks so delicious!
  • @jwright3885
    I'm so hungry for SS Chicken balls right now. Thanks. I also appreciate that you explain the chicken balls can be slightly different in size, shape and texture with few changes to the recipe. Loved it and as always loved your Mum. What a little gem 🥰

    Bro I was a Chinese chef for a good few years and as a English man that was strange to the other chefs and other restaurants I use to want to do a cook off against Chinese chefs and knife skills all that. But how you did your chicken balls was exactly right and how we did them. Legend bro
  • @Gabe-hk3tt
    In Canada we call them Chicken Balls everywhere I've gone to get them 🤤
  • @darrenquirk2269
    "Don't put your balls in hot oil!" Important kitchen safety advice from Chin 😂
  • @shannonwolff2599
    I'm from Ontario, Canada and I have never heard them called anything other than Chicken balls. To me chicken fingers are the breaded long pieces that are like Chicken McNuggets from McDonalds!! Every Chinese restaurant I've ever been in called them Chicken balls so don't know where these other people are from but not Ontario!!..LOL!! Not that it matters... they TASTE GREAT, and that's the important part!!
  • @rampagedm
    Edmonton Alberta Canada here...they are known as Chicken balls. chicken fingers are what you get for the kids to eat with ketchup also known as chicken strips.
  • @Yagirlreacts
    Chicken balls in Ontario Canada! Omg, listen, this is my kryptonite. Thank you so much for this video, I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook my own
  • @paulwindsor4256
    I live in Australia now but am from Bristol. Your food is absolutely the local chip shop Friday night comfort food from the first two decades of my life. Having tried your recipes, it's perfect. Do my Aussie friends get it, no. Do my Malaysian or Chinese friends get it, no. It's so specific to that time and place. Complete legends!!!!!
  • @marswalkerpilot2303
    Again perfect timing as this is exactly what i was off to make from the cook books i just recieved from yourselves the other day. Thanks for the fast delivery.
  • @NAVEENKUMAR-pu8yd
