Sweet and sour with boneless chicken things

[FusionChefGeoff]

Should I roast the meat then follow a quick stir fry recipe?

Or is there a recipe where the chicken will cook in the sauce?

My understanding is that thigh meat needs longer than stir fry and I don't want to have a chewy, gristly dinner!!

Chicken thighs are better for slow cooking. Could you make/buy sweet and sour sauce and cook in the oven?? Serve with a vegetable chow mein or a rice side?

Chicken thighs are typically used in stir fries rather than breast. Chop into bite size pieces and they'll cook dead quickly no need to pre cook. Fry the meat in the wok/ frying pan first and then add veg and sauce ingredients

Absolutely.

And don't bother with shop-bought sauces, it's so easy/cheap/better with your own store-cupboard ingredients.

I did chicken thighs in a curry the other day. Chopped into bite sized pieces, fried until nicely browned at which point pretty much cooked, but by the time I'd left them to bubble in the sauce for 10 minutes, perfect. I'd have no problem doing the same in a sweet and sour sauce. Chopped into similar sized pieces as breast, they need no additional cooking time and are actually much more forgiving than breast.
