Sweet and Sour Chicken

I made this the other day. It was .R.E.A.L.L.Y. good! I will definitely be making it again.

Chicken Ingredients
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper
1 c cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c canola oil

Sauce Ingredients
3/4 c sugar
4 T ketchup
1/2 c vinegar
1 T soy sauce
1 t garlic salt

Directions
Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over chicken. Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes. If you like extra sauce, make another batch of sauce and bring it to a boil on the stovetop. Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes.

Substitutions

I thought this was a great list, if you ever run out of something and need to substitute something else in it's place. I 'stole' the list from here (this is a great site for recipes, etc).
