SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Category: Chicken

For the Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil

For the Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar (preferably rice or white)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 325. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Working in two batches, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and then coat with the egg. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and again in two batches, brown the chicken, turning it so that all sides are browned. Place the chicken in a single layer in a 13x9 inch baking pan

Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and pour evenly over the chicken. Turn the chicken to ensure each piece is coated. Bake for 1 hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes. Serves 4
