Baked Sweet and Sour
Chicken
This recipe is super easy and Oh So Addicting!
Chicken Coating:
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
salt + pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
4 tbs ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
Start by preheating your oven to 325
degrees.
Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to
coat then dip into the eggs. Heat your 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet and
cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through. (I actually used a little more oil and deep fried my chicken because I wanted that crispy texture and authentic taste.)
Place the chicken in a
9x13 greased baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients
in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken. Bake
for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken
every 15 minutes. (**Note: Because I deep fried my chicken it was cooked, unlike the recipe calls for so I only had it in the oven for about 20-30 minutes to blend and heat through and only turned it once)
Add white or fried rice and a yummy vegetable and this is a great, easy Chinese meal!
