Last night Hannah and I had the chance to try out this amazing "sweet & sour" chicken recipe. While it turned out more like a cross between sweet & sour and sesame chicken, it was amazing nonetheless. Without further ado, here it is.
For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ cup cornstarch
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
1. Cut the chicken breasts into strips or bite size pieces.
2. Salt and pepper the chicken to your liking.
3. Dip the chicken in the cornstarch and then dredge it in the beaten eggs.
4. Fry the chicken until the outside is brown. (tip: don't put all of your oil in the pan at once as the chicken cornstarch tends to suck it up.
5. Mix the sugar, ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce, and garlic salt together in a mixing bowl.
6. Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish and cover/toss the chicken in the sauce until covered.
7. Bake the chicken, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour, stirring once every 15 minutes.
The chicken is amazing, especially with some simple white rice and broccoli. We made the mistake of making a double batch to cover the chicken...it doesn't really need it; although, it tasted fine. Set aside a little extra sauce to pour over your rice/veggies if you wish.
Sorry for the lack of picture this time. Being in the dark ages of phone technology real has its drawbacks. If you would like to see the finished product/the original recipe source, click here.
