Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce the perfect dipping sauce for homemade or frozen chicken tenders. Chicken Tenders or Nuggets, whatever you call them, they are my kid’s favorite. And they are not alone.

With my kids home from school, finding them things to eat, that I can make quickly, while I am working, has become chllagning. One of their favorites of course is chicken tenders. While, I can order take out every day, this is so much easier and budget-friendly.

Since all kids like to dip (hopefully this is not my kids) I have been workign on making some homemade dipping sauces.

Here are some of my favorites, thus far:

Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce

Since my kids are picky eaters, aren’t most. I tried to replicate my take on the Chinese version of Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce, which became the perfect dipping sauce for my Buttermilk Chicken Tenders.

This is a simple sauce, with only a few ingredients, most of which I had on hand, one of my favorite things. I love being able to create something out of things I have on hand.

What Is Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce

If you have never had Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce, it is a combination of sweet and sour. Hence the inclusion of both Apricot Jam and Rice Vinegar.

Apricot Jam is the perfect base for any sauce since it’s naturally sweet and has a tangy-sweet, and sour taste. The addition of the rice vinegar adds a sweet and milk sauce. Rice vinegar is very popular in Chinese cuisine.
