Trader Joes-Tempura Chicken with sweet & sour sauce

Hi everybody!
I am a HUGE fan of Trader Joe's. For those of you not living in the twenty first century, Trader Joe's is a specialty supermarket that sells their own brand of high quality products at a great price. Going forward, I will be reviewing their products from time to time.

Tonight I want to tell you about their Tempura Chicken with Sweet & Sour Sauce. Its made with white meat and has a light, crispy batter. This stuff is much better then your run of the mill orange chicken served at Chinese restaurants throughout the Boston area and at about six bucks a bag, you cant go wrong!! It takes only ten minutes to cook and serves 2-3 people.

TIP
Ignore the baking instructions on the package and pan fry on low, in about 3 tablespoons of olive oil for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently. Once crispy, stir in the thawed sauce packet, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Serve over white rice. (I prefer Jasmine,also available at Trader Joe's.)
