Sweet and Sour Chicken

I LOVE sweet and sour chicken, honestly I am pretty sure I  could eat it everyday.  So when I find a recipe that not only has me making the chicken the way I like it, but also has me making the sauce, I have to try it.  The hubby likes Chinese food, but he is very wishy-washy when it comes to liking it.  Now this recipe does take some time for preparation but the ingredient list is very small and most of them I already had in my kitchen.

Ingredients:

Chicken:
2-3 Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 C. Cornstarch
2-3 Eggs, Beaten
1/2 C. Corn Oil (vegetable oil will work too)
Salt and Pepper

Sauce:
3/4 C. Sugar
4 Tbsp Ketchup
1/2 C. White Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1 tsp. Garlic Salt

Directions:
1.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2.  Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper.
3.  Dip the chicken into the cornstarch, and coat them all over, the dip the chicken into the eggs.
4.  Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the chicken until it is browned, but not thoroughly cooked.
5.  Place the chicken on a 9x13 greased baking sheet.
6.  Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and whisk until smooth.
7.  Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 45 minutes-one hour.






This chicken is moist and delicious, and the sauce is perfect!  I served this with my fried rice recipe and it was just as good as I find at take-out restaurants.  The only warning I can give you, is when you are baking the chicken to be careful when you open the oven door, the hot vinegar burns your eyes so make sure your are facing away from the oven when you open it.  Other than that, make this and ENJOY!
