Sweet and Sour Chicken


This recipe is so yummy!
Ingredients:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
salt & pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

Directions:
1. Season chicken with salt & pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch, then in egg.
2. Fry battered chicken in hot canola oil over medium heat just until browned (not cooked through).
3. Place browned chicken in a single layer in a 9x13 baking dish.
4. Pour sauce over chicken (see recipe below), and bake at 325 degrees for one hour, turning chicken every 15 minutes.

Sauce: whisk together the following
3/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp. ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt

If you like extra sauce you can make a second batch in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir constantly till thickened (about 6-8 minutes).
