To be served with fried rice, I adapted these recipes from a few sources!
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
4 Tbsp Ketchup
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
Ingredients for the Chicken:
3 boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cup cornstarch
2-3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt & Pepper
1. Make the sauce by whisking together the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2. Preheat your oven to 325ยบ.
3. Rinse the chicken breasts, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
4. Season the chicken with salt & pepper.
5. Coat the chicken pieces by dipping them first into the cornstarch and then into the eggs.
6. Heat the oil in a skillet, then begin pan-frying the chicken pieces until they just begin to firm and change color.
7. Place pan-fried chicken into a (deep) greased baking dish.
8. Pour the sauce over the chicken. (I recommend using a deeper dish so that more of the chicken is covered).
9. Bake the chicken for one hour, uncovered. You will need to turn the chicken every 15-30 minutes, depending on how much chicken is "exposed," or not covered by the sauce.
10. Enjoy!

Dipping Station
Chicken, post-coating. Slight yellow color from the egg.
This is the color of the chicken when I removed it from the pan - starting to firm, yellowed in color from the cooked egg, most of the "pink" color gone. (When in doubt, overcook rather than under!)
Finally, the sweet & sour goodness after cooking!
Enjoy, and Happy Cooking!
