Delish Sweet & Sour Chicken

Thomas & I cooked dinner last night.

I don't like to brag....

....but I'm making an exception today.

Because it was delish.

And I never cook anything delish.

Ya know my addiction to pinterest?

Yup. It's resourceful.

I found the recipe on there.

It's Sweet & Sour Chicken.

And looks something like this:

It turned out great.

Perfect even.

We served it over rice.

Delish.

I think what I love most about this recipe, 

is that it puts a coating on the chicken.

So it gets a nice crispy coating on the outside.

Mmmmmm....

So. 

You want the recipe?
Here ya go!

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 30 minutes | Bake Time: 1 hour

For the Chicken:

3-4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, slightly beaten

¼ cup canola or vegetable oil

For the Sauce:

¾ cup sugar

4 tablespoons ketchup

½ cup vinegar (preferably rice or white)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

3. Working in two batches, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and then coat with the egg. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and again in two batches, brown the chicken, turning it so that all sides are browned.

4. Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9×13 baking dish.

5. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and pour evenly over the chicken. Turn the chicken to ensure each piece is coated.

6. Bake for 1 hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes.

It takes a lot of work, because of the turning every 15 minutes,

but ya gotta do it to keep it from burning on the bottom.

Don't freak out when the sauce is runny at the beginning,

(Thomas did...)

It thickens as it cooks.

There is one change we're going to make the next time we make it:

We're going to make twice as much sauce.

The amount you make is enough to coat the chicken,

but we wanted extra sauce to drizzle of the rice too.

So our suggestion:
When there is about a half hour left on the chicken, 

drizzle a second batch of sauce over it.

The sauce will have time to thicken for thirty minutes,

and then there's extra for the rice!

Anywho, if you try it, let me know what you think!
We loved it!

Hope you do too!
