Caleb, my teenage food snob, declared this chicken to be 'on point' and a 'flavor explosion in my mouth.' Either he has watched way too many Guy Fieri cooking shows or this chicken is just that good!! (Or possibly both could be true, let's go with that!!)
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 in. pieces
1 1/2 cup cornstarch
3 eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tbsp. ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce (Ahola brand is the best!)
1 tsp. granulated or minced garlic
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate bowls. Dip chicken into cornstarch and then dip in beaten eggs. Meanwhile, make sure the canola oil is heating up in a large pan over medium high heat. After all the chicken has been covered with the cornstarch and egg fry it in the oil until browned. Remove chicken from the pan when browned and place in a 9X13 greased pan. In a bowl whisk together sugar, ketchup, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce and garlic. Pour over the chicken and bake for one hour. Yum!!
