It’s a good chance my Baked Sweet n’ Sour Chicken and Fried Rice recipe is what brought you to my blog. It was one of the first recipes I posted back in September 2010 and continues to be one of my most popular. That chicken and rice has been a family-favorite for years. I make it all the time, especially for company because it is just so good! A couple years ago I made some teriyaki chicken in my crock pot, and decided to slice up the chicken and put it in the fried rice. It is so dang delicious, I thought it was time to share the recipe on the blog. It’s a cinch to make and not much different from the original.
An important thing about making fried rice is to use day old/cold rice. If you use freshly cooked warm rice the mixture will be sticky or mushy. I like to cook the white rice first thing in the morning, put it in the fridge to get nice and cold, and then make the fried rice recipe for dinner. It works great. Just as long as it’s cold you’re good to go.
Hope you all enjoy this recipe. It’s a good one!
