The Menu:
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
The Original Recipe:
Who's into Pinterest? I am! I love it for the recipes, and the fact that I can save a recipe, and a picture, onto a "cloud" and not have to search all through my computer to find where I stored it! I found this recipe for Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken, and it's to-die-for. It was super fast to make, too. I thought it would be a pain to fry up the chicken first, and then bake it for an hour, but it really wasn't. I acutally turned up the temp. to 350, and stirred it every 20 minutes for an hour, and it was perfect! I also made extra sauce to serve with it since I made Jasmine rice to go along with this. It was delicious! I added some hot pepper flakes to my dish, too. Yum! I could just gorge myself on a dish like this one! This may not be authentic, but it is so delicious!

The chicken coating:
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
salt + pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
The sweet and sour sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
4 tbs ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees. Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs. Heat your 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet and cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through. Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken. Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken every 15 minutes.
