This sweet and savory Russian Chicken is part of my One Chicken, Three Meals repertoire and it couldn’t be easier to make. With only four inexpensive ingredients, you’ll be on your way to a delicious meal in minutes that kids and adults alike will love. This recipe is adapted from one my grandma used to call “Stupid Chicken”, and since, according to my almost three year old, “we don’t say stupid, mommy” it’s now called Mommy’s Famous Chicken in our house. If you like sweet and sour chicken, this one is definitely worth a try!
