Sweet and Sour Chicken

A little time consuming, but well worth it!

Chicken Ingredients
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cornstarch (I used flour, since I didn't have cornstarch)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil (I used sunflower)

Directions
Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper.
Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients (below) together and pour over chicken.

Sauce Ingredients
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar (I used red wine vinegar, because I didn't have anything else. It was still yummy)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions
Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes. (I only baked mine for 45 minutes, but I had small pieces of chicken.)


If you like extra sauce, make another batch of sauce and bring it to a boil on the stove top. Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes. (I made the extra batch of sauce, but found that I didn't need it.)
