Sweet and Sour Chicken




This recipe is just divine. Other than hour wait while it bakes, it is quick and simple and I almost ALWAYS have all the ingredients. Julie found this recipe on My Kitchen Cafe. She said it was a hit at her house, and it certainly was at mine. If you like Buffalo Sauce, be sure to check out an equally tasty recipe, Buffalo Chicken Bites.

Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

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:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes.

If you like extra sauce, make another batch of sauce and bring it to a boil on the stovetop. Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes.
