Description: This is one of the best home-made sweet and sour dishes we have ever eaten. it reminds me of going to China Town in Yokohama. The best part is it is very easy. Kelly had it the first time when I made it for potluck Sunday and asked me to make it again for the family. She was gone when I made it previously for the family. I received several compliments from church folk and Shizuko asked to take home the leftovers for your mother and father. What a compliment!!
Ingredients: 4-8 skinned, deboned chicken breast halves ( I cut them in bite size pieces.) 1 egg, beaten cornstarch vegetable oil (or Pam) to fry in.
Sauce: ( I doubled the sauce. We like sauce. ) 3/4 cups sugar 4 Tbs. ketchup. 1/2 cup vinegar 1 Tbs. soy sauce 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Directions: Mix all the ingredients for sauce together. Dip chicken breast in egg, roll in cornstarch. Fry in oil (or Pam) until just browned. Place chicken in a shallow baking pan. Pour the sauce over it and bake uncovered at 325 degrees F. for one hour. Turn chicken ever 15 min. Serve with rice!
I made this 3 times. The best was the first time when I was in a hurry and baked it with a lid at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes. You can see which you prefer.
