Sweet and sour chicken

Who needs to go to a Chinese restaurant to get fresh sweet and sour chicken, when you can make it homemade.
This recipe is so easy and yummy.

What you'll need:

Chicken breading:


  •  1 pound of chicken- cut into bite sized pieces
  • 3/4 c cornstarch (I ran out of cornstarch so I mixed in some flour)
  • salt 
  • pepper
  • garlic salt
  • Oil
  • 2 eggs


Sweet and sour sauce:

  • 1 c sugar (not pictured)
  • 1/3 c ketchup
  • garlic salt
  • 1/2 c + 1 tbl rice vinegar (regular vinegar works well too)
  • 1 Tbl soy sauce










What to do:
1. Place the chicken, corn starch, salt, pepper and garlic salt in a large ziplock bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture and place in the frying pan with a fork. I did half the batch first. Fry both sides of the chicken for about 2 minutes a piece. Line a baking sheet with foil and place chicken on the pan. Dispose of the burnt oil and then heat up the rest of the oil and finish the chicken.
3. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
4. In a medium size bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
5. Next you'll pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 20 minutes. Pull the chicken out and flip the chicken to evenly coat it with sauce. Then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.

6. Put on top of rice and enjoy





Ending result... So yummy!!!!
