Sweet and Sour Chicken


This is what happens when Mike Guthrie comes to town.  I make him an incredibly awesome home cooked meal, complete with fried wontons and rice.  Let's just say it got very quiet when dinner started, because everyone was busy eating instead of talking.  I got two very big thumbs up.

Ingredients:
Chicken:
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized chunks
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
Directions:
  1. Season the chicken chunks with salt and pepper
  2. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg.  Fry in a little oil until brown, but not cooked through.
  3. Place in a single layer in a baking dish.
  4. Boil sauce ingredients together, then pour over chicken.
  5. Bake for one hour at 325 degrees F.  Mix chicken every 15 minutes.
  6. Serve over rice.

  1. What kind of vinegar? balsamic? red wine? I'm assuming you need to use a certain kind...
