Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup cornstarch
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup vegetable oil
FOR THE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
¾ cup sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
How to prepare
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then lightly oil a baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
Step 2:
To make the sauce, whisk together sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and garlic powder in a large bowl and leave it aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
Step 3:
Stir in the cornstarch and gently toss to combine. One after the other, dip the chicken into the eggs. Then heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan, add chicken and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4:
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and throw away excess oil. Add the chicken to the prepared baking dish, then top with sweet and sour sauce. Place into the oven and bake until the sauce has thickened, about 55 minutes, turning over every 15 minutes to evenly coat the chicken.
Step 5:
Serve immediately and enjoy!
