I found this recipe on melskitchencafe.com. I will be making this tonight. I hope its a hit....it looks soo yummy!
*Serves 4-6
Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients (below) together and pour over chicken.
Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes so it is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve the chicken over rice.
*Note: if you like extra sauce, double the sauce ingredients - pour half over the chicken and follow the baking directions in the recipe and pour the other half in a small saucepan. Cook the sauce on the stovetop at medium heat for 8-10 minutes until it simmers and thickens. Serve it on the side of the chicken.
UPDATE - I made this and I loved it! I'm glad I had leftovers for the next couple days! I wasn't a big fan of using the sauce for dipping....it was definitely very vinegary. But I felt the chicken was saucy enough for us. I served it with white rice and broccoli on the side. Definitely a keeper!
2nd UPDATE - The first time I made it I could it at a higher temperature and for less time. It was absolute yummy. The second time I followed the recipe's time and temp. But they were way too cook and it was not as good as the first. Maybe that's because I cut my pieces truly bite-size. So I think I will from now on cook it at 350 or 375 for 20-30 minutes (I'm pretty sure that's what I did the first time.)
