Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

1. First things first, preheat your oven to 325F. Prep a 13 x 9-inch pan with some parchment paper and set it aside for later.

2. Now, let's give our chicken a little seasoning. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

3. Next, grab a large ziploc bag, pop in your cornstarch and chicken. Shake it all up and make sure your chicken pieces get a nice, even coating.

4. Get a shallow bowl and beat your eggs together. Heat up your oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it's sizzling hot.

5. It's time to dip your coated chicken into the beaten eggs, then straight into the skillet. Sear that chicken until it's golden brown, then place it in your prepared pan.

6. Now for the sauce! In a medium bowl, mix your sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and sea salt. Give it a good whisk.

7. Pour your homemade sauce all over your chicken, making sure it's well covered. Pop it in the oven and bake for 1 hour, giving it a good toss halfway through.

8. Once it's done, serve it up with some fluffy rice.

Give this a go, foodies, and let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!
