sweet & sour chicken

Gather It

4-8 skinned, boneless chicken breast halves cut into bite size pieces 

1 egg, beaten

cornstarch or flour

oil

sauce {recipe follows}

 

Sauce:

3/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoons catsup

1/2 cup vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together.

 

Make It

 

1. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg, then roll them in the cornstarch/flour.

2. In a small amount of oil, fry the chicken until just browned.

3. Place the chicken in a shallow baking pan, pour the sauce over it, then bake it uncovered at 325° F for one hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes. Serve over rice.

Note It

While this is an oft-requested dinner at our house, I don't make it that often. The recipe itself is simple but the making can be a little tedious, however the results are really good and warrant a try. A few suggestions...I usually double the sauce recipe and keep some aside to put on rice after it is done. You could also add green peppers, red peppers, pineapples, onions, etc.
