BAKED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
4 boneless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup canola oil
The sweet and sour sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoon ketchup
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Start by preheating your oven to 180ºC. Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs. Heat your ¼ cup oil in a large skillet and cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through. Place the chicken in a 9×13 greased baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken. Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken every 15 minutes.
