Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken cut into bite size pieces
- ½ tsp kosher salt

- ¾ cup corn starch start with ¾ and add more if you don't think you have enough I used 1 cup
- 2 large eggs whisked
- Canola oil approx. ½ cup
Sweet and sour sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- ½ cup + 1 TB rice vinegar (distilled vinegar works if thats all you have
- 1 TB soy sauce
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Set aside.
- Place the chicken, corn starch, salt, pepper and garlic salt in a large ziplock bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Dip the chicken in the egg mixture and place in the frying pan with a fork.
- Don't crowd your pan.
- Fry both sides of the chicken until light brown color.
- Pre-heat oven to 325°F.
- In a medium size bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 20 minutes.
- Pull the chicken out and flip the chicken to evenly coat it with sauce.
- Then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Place under broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, if you wish.
Notes
Our broiler is a top broiler in the oven so I broiled my chicken longer but it wasn't directly under the broiler so I didn't have to worry about it burning so easily.
