Sweet and Sour Chicken

I thought this was pretty good and Mark said it was the best sweet and sour chicken he has ever had, but.....he doesn't really care for sweet and sour chicken. Who knew! Luke seemed to like it, but Kailyn wasn't a huge fan. It was a good change for us tex-mex folk. I served the chicken over white rice and broccoli for a side. I found this recipe on On My Menu.

Ingredients:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

Cut chicken into chunks and then season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then egg before frying in oil. Cook until lightly brown on outside, not thoroughly cooked. Then place in baking dish, cover with sauce (see below) and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Flip chicken every 15 mintues.

Sauce:
¾ cup sugar (i will use a little less next time, i thought it was too sweet)
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

To make extra sauce make another batch like about and bring to boil on stovetop. Stir constantly while simmering on for about 6 minutes.
