Chicken and Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch until well covered. Dip the coated chicken into the beaten egg to create a batter coating.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered chicken pieces in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Sweet and Sour Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of ketchup, and 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, mix the crispy chicken with the sweet and sour sauce until evenly coated. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
