Sweet & Sour Chicken

Sweet & Sour Chicken

                                                    Ingredients:

                                                    2 x Chicken Breasts, cut into blocks
                                                    Salt & pepper 
                                                    50g flour
                                                    2 eggs whisked
                                                    oil for frying

                                                   Sauce:

                                                   1 cup of sugar
                                                   5 tbsp ketchup
                                                   3/4 cup white vinegar
                                                   1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
                                                   1 clove garlic (finely minced)
                                                   1 tsp salt (or just add a tsp of garlic salt)

cut chicken into bite size blocks

Add salt & pepper to taste ( if you want you can totally skip this step, I felt it was unneccessary)
Dip the chicken into the flour and make sure its fully covered


Dip the flour covered chicken bits into the egg and make sure its covered properly.
Heat the oil in the pan and fry the chicken pieces until they turn golden brown
Drain the excess oil on a kitchen towel.
Preheat your oven to 180C
Lightly grease a baking tray and thrown your browned chicken in it.
Make your sauce in a pot. You just throw all the ingredients in and stir with a whisk. Mine did not want to thicken quick enough, so I added a tbsp on flour while whisking like a maniac and it came out as this sticky delicious goo!!
You cant screw it up, so you can really go crazy. Keep tasting as you go, some ppl prefer it sweeter, some with more vinegar, some with less, there is no right way, just the way you like it.
You pour your sauce over the chicken into the baking tray. Stir it around and make sure that all the chicken pieces are covered properly.
Bake in the oven for 15min, then flip the chicken pieces over and bake for another 15min.


Serve with rice, noodles, potatoes, chips (it was great on pancakes too)
