4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 egg
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil + 1 quart for frying
Combine flour, 2 T. oil, salt, pepper, and egg. Add water gradually to make a think batter. Stir to blend thoroughly. Add chicken pieces and stir until chicken is well coated.
Heat oil in deep skillet or wok to 360 degrees F. Add chicken pieces one at a time with a fork and fry for 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels. Make sweet and sour sauce and pour over chicken. Serve with rice.
I LOVE this meal. So much. The kids liked it too. I knew they would since that sauce is so sweet and delicious. Oh, I don't have a thermometer so I couldn't tell what the temp of the oil was but I kept the burner at medium high and that seemed to be right. This would be good with pork too. Seriously. So good.
Oh, and we had a lot of extra sauce. Maybe halve it for this amount of chicken.
