Tips
Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees. Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs. Heat your 1/4 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.

Current UK food safety advice is to NOT rinse or wash poultry before cooking (since it spreads any bacteria which is on the raw meat all over the sink). You can make double the sauce so that you can pour half over the chicken at step 5 and heat the rest to serve over the cooked chicken on the plate. - 7/16/15
