Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour sauce:
1 cup sugar
1/2 c. chicken broth or water
1/2 c. vinegar
1 Tbsp. ketchup
1 T. soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste

Chicken:
3 chicken breasts
2 eggs
corn starch with garlic salt mixed in
oil

Thickening:
2 Tbsp. corn starch and water (mix until it is a thin paste)

Mix together the sauce ingredients on medium heat until the ingredients are dissolved. Set the sauce aside. In a large frying pan, heat up the oil (about a half inch deep). While the oil is heating, cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Coat the chicken pieces with egg and then the corn starch mixture (you could do this in bowls, or throw it into a bag-- whatever works for you). Put the chicken pieces in the oil and cook until they turn a golden color. When all the meat is cooked, remove it from the oil, and remove the oil from the frying pan. Put the chicken back in the frying pan, along with the sauce. Let the sauce and chicken simmer together while you prepare the thickening. Add the thickening to the sauce and chicken mixture. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
Serve over rice. Enjoy!
