Ingredients:

Chicken:

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs, beaten

Olive oil

Sauce:

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

1 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat 1-2 T oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, pound the chicken breasts until about 3/4 inch thick and then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the cornstarch in a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Put the chicken into the bag with the cornstarch and seal, tossing to coat the chicken.
Whisk the eggs; dump eggs into ziplock bag and shake until chicken is coated with egg.
Cook in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip each piece over to cook on the other side until nicely golden. Place in a single layer in a baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and pour 1/2-3/4 of the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake for 30 hour, turning the chicken once or twice while cooking to coat evenly with sauce.
Serve over rice. The extra sauce can be used for dipping or over the rice.
