This is my family's favorite meal. This is a real treat for them. I use boneless skinless chicken breast and can you can also use boneless skinless thighs too. I usually serve this with some fried rice or the Pork Lo Mein recipe which I posted a while ago.
Sweet and sour Chicken
Batter:
1 egg
3/4 cup ice cold water
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon accent
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
Mix egg and water together, add the rest of ingredients, mix together by hand. Do not over mix, some lumps will remain. Add cubed up chicken (not to large) stir.
Carefully drop chicken into hot oil, do not crowd the chicken. You do not want them to all stick together. Fry until golden brown and chicken is cooked. Keep warm in oven while cooking other batches.
Sweet And Sour Sauce
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoon Ketchup
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup water
Mix all ingredients together in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until sauce is thick and bubbly.
*I make the sauce before I start frying the chichen and keep it on low heat.
*The amount of chicken will depend on the amount you want.
