Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
  • ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Place the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Working in two batches, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and then coat with the egg.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Again working in two batches, brown the chicken, turning it so that all sides are browned.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and pour evenly over the chicken. Turn the chicken to ensure each piece is coated.
  • Bake for 1 hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes. Serve with rice and steamed broccoli, if desired.
