I love Pinterest for so many reasons. The most important reason I think is being able to “bookmark” in a way, recipes I want to try. It’s great because I can make a board of all these delicious, amazing looking foods that I do plan on making. I’ve actually made a couple so at least I use them, I don’t just drool over the pictures. (By the way, my husband thinks the way I look at pictures of food is equivalent to people looking at porn. I guess in a way it is…well, no it’s not. Not at all actually ew).
This recipe was slightly adapted from Your Home-based Mom. The only thing I changed was substituting flour for cornstarch. Here are the ingredients:
Sweet and Sour Chicken
- 4 (small) chicken breasts or you can use 3
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup flour or cornstarch
- 1/4 cup canola oil
sauce:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tbsp of ketchup
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic salt
First, I cut the chicken up into chunks. Then, dipped the chicken in the flour, then into the eggs. I fried the chicken pieces in oil until they were lightly browned.
While the chicken was cooking, I mixed the sauce together and preheated the oven to 325.
Once the chicken was nice and brown, I spread it out in a baking dish then poured the sauce on top. I baked the chicken for an hour, mixing it around every 15 minutes.
It smells so good!
I served it with brown rice and broccoli. It turned out awesome! I will definitely be making this again!
If you love sweet and sour chicken, you’ll definitely like this. It actually tasted a lot like the classic chinese dish. Maybe next time I’ll add pineapples to it?
Happy Monday everyone!

This recipe was so useful, I am in Year 9 and we were allowed to make whatever we wanted in our Food Tech Lesson, so i decided to make some sweet and sour chicken (my favourite thing to order from the Chinese restaurant), recipes upon recipes one did not catch my eye except yours which was so fast and easy and convenient,literally everybody that tasted it was amazed and I give the credit to you! (So thank-you!). Also i think i would try Sweet and Sour Prawns to next time.
How many eggs? I am going to make this tonight.
I honestly don’t remember. Since you’re just dipping I would mix up 2 eggs. You can always add more if you need them.
