Ingredients
  

FOR CHICKEN:

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ¾ cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs beaten lightly
  • 1/4-1/2 cup canola oil
  • salt/pepper to taste preference

FOR SAUCE:

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Pour cornstarch into a large, freezer bag. Add chicken pieces and shake until they are coated completely with the cornstarch.
  • Pour beaten eggs into a shallow dish. Dip corn starched chicken into eggs, then, add into the skillet.
  • Cook on each side for only a minute or two. You just want to brown them up a bit, not cook completely.
  • Once completed, place chicken in a single layer in a baking dish (I used my 9 x 13 size).
  • Mix all sauce ingredients together in a mixing bowl and bowl over chicken.
  • Bake for 1 hour.  Stirring to coat chicken about every 20 minutes.
