Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ingredients:
<SAUCE>
- ¼ cup corn starch
- ¼ cup water
- 6 ounces pineapple juice
- 6 ounces water
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cups apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
<CHICKEN>
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbs oil
- 2 tbs cornstarch
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups water
Directions:
Combine flour, baking soda, oil, 2 tbs cornstarch, salt, pepper, and egg. Add 1 1/2 cups water gradually to make a thick batter. Stir to blend thoroughly. Add chicken pieces, and stir until chicken is well coated. Deep fry for 10-12 minutes in oil at 350 until golden brown and cooked through. Drain well on paper towels once chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup water and set aside. Combine pineapple juice, water, brown sugar, regular sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce in a sauce pot and cook over medium high til mixture comes to a boil. Cook for an additional minute, then add cornstarch/water mixture and remove from heat.
Coat chicken in sauce. Serve over white rice. NOTE: I also sauteed some bell pepper, pineapple chunks, and onion; just like a restaurant would.
Enjoy!
