Finally! Trader Joe’s Tempura Sweet & Sour Chicken is MADE WITH ALL WHITE MEAT. I prefer white meat over higher fat dark meat (Mandarin Orange Chicken). Dark meat is good when freshly prepared and I can pick around to avoid all of the connective tissue, gristle and other undesirables.


Tempura Chicken made with succulent all-white meat cuts and is the perfect lower-fat meal. The kids love Tempura Chicken (chicken nuggets to them) and when paired with Trader Joe’s vegetable fried rice and Edamame, it is a great and nutritious meal for whole family. The marinated chicken is so moist and juicy with a crispy tempura “crunch” on the outside. The sauce is the right balance of sweet and sour zip. I have also tried with the jarred Mandarin Orange sauce so I can enjoy that flavor without buying the Mandarin Orange chicken (yea!)


Each package is a full pound of all-white meat tempura chicken with a pouch of sauce. Just preheat oven and bake 18-minutes. Use the baking time to make the side dishes mentioned above and dinner is served. Trader Joe’s Tempura Sweet & Sour Chicken was $5.99 at my local beach store. Buy 2-bags…you will serve this more then once a week.
