Serves: 3-4
For the Chicken:3-4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunksSalt and pepper, to taste1 cup cornstarch2 eggs, slightly beaten¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
For the Sauce:¾ cup sugar4 tablespoons ketchup½ cup vinegar (preferably rice or white)1 tablespoon soy sauce1 teaspoon garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Working in two batches, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and then coat with the egg. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and again in two batches, brown the chicken, turning it so that all sides are browned.
4. Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9×13 baking dish.
5. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and pour evenly over the chicken. Turn the chicken to ensure each piece is coated.
6. Bake for 1 hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes.

I follow the recipe to a T. And I just serve it with white rice. It is fabulous and my house smells so good!!
