My friends, let me tell you something:
I love Chinese food. It’s my favorite food. Ever. So with that said, I can now live in the middle of nowhere absolutely comfortably. Because I can make Sweet and Sour Chicken in my own kitchen. Anytime I want. And this version tastes just like it was made in a Chinese restaurant. Also, I love a girl named Holly for putting this recipe on her blog for me. I know it was just for me.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Author: Mandy Bird
: Main
Ingredients
- Chicken:
- 3-4 boneless chicken breasts
- salt & pepper
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup canola oil
- Sweet & Sour Sauce:
- ¾ cup sugar
- 4 tbs ketchup
- ½ cup vinegar
- 1 tbs soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. I like my chicken partially frozen when cutting. It makes it easier. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs.
- Heat ¼ cup oil in a large skillet and cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through.
- Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish.
- Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken.
- Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken every 15 minutes.
I can’t get over how it tastes like it came from a Chinese restaurant.

This was so amazing I made it last week and the hubs is already hinting that I should make it again. Oh and a gazillion thumbs up for this since my super picky eater 4 yr old ate it for dinner and the next day for lunch!
Can't wait to try this one! Thanks
That was delicious! It is definitely the closest I have tasted to take out at home. I usually never have any luck making stuff like this at home but with your recommendation I thought I would try. Winner Winner!
