📝 Preparation Steps
1
How to Make Sweet and Sour Chicken: Preheat oven to 325˚F.
2
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3
Place 1 cup cornstarch into a gallon-sized ziploc bag, add chicken and toss to coat.
4
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large, heavy bottom pot (I used my French oven with nice tall walls to reduce splatterage on the stove).
5
In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 eggs. Dip the cornstarch-dredged chicken pieces into the beaten egg, coating both sides then transfer chicken to the very hot oil.

Cook chicken in hot oil about ⏱️ 30 seconds per side or until golden. Having very hot oil is key. You don't want to cook the chicken through, but just until golden. Transfer chicken to a 9x13 baking dish and continue dipping and sautéing remaining chicken, adding more oil as necessary. Cooking tip: if you add oil to the pot, let it heat up a little before you add more chicken.
7
In a medium bowl, stir together sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 4 Tbsp ketchup, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp garlic salt.

Pour sauce over your sautéed chicken pieces and toss to coat. Bake uncovered at 325˚F for ⏱️ 1 hour, turning the chicken twice while baking to coat with sauce. Serve warm or hot over steamy white rice, and crisp tender broccoli for a balanced meal.
