Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

Double the sauce

Such a great recipe! Everything was so easy even with the prep, came out really delicious in the end.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch or slightly larger pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the cornstarch in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Put the chicken into the bag with the cornstarch and seal, tossing to coat the chicken. Whisk the eggs together in a shallow pie plate. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until very hot and rippling. Dip the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces in the egg and place them carefully in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook for 20-30 seconds on each side until the crust is golden but the chicken is not all the way cooked through (this is where it’s really important to have a hot skillet/oil). Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9X13-inch baking dish and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and pour over the chicken. Bake for one hour, turning the chicken once or twice while cooking to coat evenly with sauce. Serve over hot, steamed rice.

Grand daughter made this for us, and WOW!!!!! Absolutely loved it! Best chef in town :)

better than take-out

This was absolutely delicious I’m never going to get this made by anyone else I’m officially a chef.

Every bit as good as the description, if not better.

Yummy!! The family loved it, they had it with noodles and I made stir fry veg.

Easy. Go to meal.

Turned out great. Be certain to give yourself enough time to prepare and bake.

This dish is a labor of love! It is delicious, but it is not a quick meal. You won’t regret making this. My chicken was done at 45 min.

I destroy my kitchen every time we make this, but it's worth it. I add chunks of pineapple, onion, and green pepper in with the meat in the oven and it tastes like our favorite Chinese restaurant.

2 of 3 kids loved this, 1 thought he could still taste vinegar, and was too much sugar for hubby (gastric issues). Kids asked me to make again so I may play with the sauce a bit to make it work for all of us. Note…this isn’t a quick fix dinner.

This was nicer than takeout, didn’t cook for as long and still a bit of sauce to go over rice.

This was so so good. I served it with ramen chow mein and broccoli. Defiantly going to try to experiment with different sauces.

Really good. Doubled the sauce recipe and it was perfect. I may try with shrimp next.

This is fabulous! Will definitely make it again. Served over rice and paired with Hibachi style clear soup and egg rolls.

It's a rare day that everyone in my house enjoys a meal, but this left 5 clean plates. There is a very strong vinegar smell when it cooks that is a little off putting but it all seems to cook off by the time its on the plate. Will be making again for sure

Was really good!
