Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients

chicken coating

3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed into 1-inch pieces

Salt and pepper

1 cup cornstarch

3 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup canola oil

For the sauce

3/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoon ketchup

1/2 cup white vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

1. preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray cooking spray on a large baking sheet and set aside.

2. Season your chicken cubes with salt and pepper then dip the chicken cube, in batches, in cornstarch. Set aside on a plate and continue until all chicken has been coated in cornstarch. Pop the plate in the fridge for 20 minutes.

3. When ready, heat up a large skillet with 1/4 cup of canola oil. While the oil is heating up, dip the coated chicken in the egg then cook your chicken until browned but not cooked all the way through.

4. Place your chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce then pour evenly over the chicken.

6. Bake chicken for one hour and during the baking process. You’ll need to turn the chicken in every 15 minutes. Basically, just shuffling it around and re-coating with the sauce.

7. Serve immediately with rice and steamed veggies.
