Sweet and sour chicken recipe

I got a good one for you guys tonight! During my house sitting adventure last week I was staying in my bosses house while she was away and she has a big beautiful kitchen so I was just having a field day trying a bunch of new recipes. The first dinner on the menu was a huge Asian feast per Eric's request. I am talking rice kitchen #3 combo meal type of feast. The only thing that would have made it better would be if it was 3am and I was stumbling home from Rick's! All my fellow EL friends will get that one ; )

What you'll need:
2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar
1-2 cups oil for frying

1. Chop your chicken up into about 1/2 inch chunks. Start heating your oil (about 1 inch deep) on med-high heat until it is rippling on the surface. While your oil is heating set up two separate bowls, put your cornstarch into one and your 2 eggs beaten into the other. Start by dipping your chicken in the eggs and then coat in cornstarch then carefully place into the oil. You will want to do this is batches, making sure your oil comes back up to temp in between batches. You just want the chicken to brown on the outside, it should not cook all the way through.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. As your chicken pieces are browned place them onto a greased baking sheet.
3.To make your sweet and sour sauce combine your ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl.
4. Now you can drizzle about half of your sweet and sour mix onto the fried chicken pieces and give them a toss around. Put the pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the sweet and sour sauce has caramelized and is sticky on the chicken. You will want to give these a stir a few times during the baking.
5. While the chicken is baking take the other half of the sweet and sour mixture and put it into a small pot over med heat and let it get bubbly and sticky, should take about 5 minutes. Use this as a dipping sauce for the chicken.

I really could not believe how AMAZING this was. Eric said it tasted just like Chinese take-out but better because the meat didn't have weird stuff in it haha. As you can see I also whipped up some fried rice and some of my famous potstickers. This time the pot stickers were stuffed with snow peas, broccoli stems, and carrots. The fried rice is really simple; brown rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, carrots, peas, corn, egg.
