Sweet & Sour Chicken

I'm really loving this new recipe I found and tweaked from http://momsdish.com.  It's sweet, sour, sticky and full of flavor.  Any time we go to a Chinese restaurant, I always order sweet & sour chicken, and I must say that cooking it at home is just as yummy!

What you need:

Chicken:

3-4 chicken breast- thawed and cut into bite size pieces

1/2 cup corn starch

salt & pepper to taste

1 clove of garlic- chopped finely

1/2 cup oil for frying (more if you need)

Sauce:

1 egg

1 cup sugar

1 Tbs soy sauce

1/3 cup ketchup

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Heat up oil in a large skillet on medium high heat.  In a bowl, mix together corn starch, salt & pepper, and garlic.  In another bowl, whisk an egg.  Take each piece of chicken and roll it in the corn starch mixture covering it all.  Then dip it in the egg and transfer to the oil.

- Fry the chicken until all the sides are brown and crispy and transfer to a large baking sheet.

- Spread the chicken out evenly without touching.

- In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic powder and salt.  Pour the sauce over all the chicken.

- Bake for 30 minutes turning over chicken every 10 minutes.

- Serve with rice and enjoy!
