This flavorful Sweet and Sour Chicken is a family favorite and is really easy to make gluten free. It’s so easy you wont even know it’s gluten free.

Gluten Free Sweet and Sour Chicken

My whole family loves Sweet and Sour Chicken. It is something I made often before I went gluten free and It was honestly really easy to convert to a gluten-free recipe. It is so good, you will question whether or not it really is gluten-free

Chicken Ingredients :

  • 2- 3 lbs of chicken
  • cornstarch
  • 3 eggs

Cut chicken into pieces. Make a bowl of cornstarch and add a little bit of garlic salt. Make a bowl of the eggs whisked. Dips the chicken into the eggs and then into the cornstarch. Put in at pan at 375 , pretty hot with oil. Brown in sections, set aside on paper towel. Add oil each time each time you add a new batch.

 

Sauce:

 
  • 3 cups of sugar
  • 1 ½ c. vinegar
  • 1 ½ c. water
  • 1 teaspoon boullion ( I use Better Than Boullion)
  • 3 tbs ketchup
  • 3 tbs soy sauce (Gluten Free)
  • 3 teaspoons garlic salt
 
Combine all the ingredients and simmer 5-10 minutes. Turn down the electric skillet with the chicken in it to 240. Pour liquid in with the chicken. Stir in thickening of 2-3 tablespoons cornstarch with water, then stir in pan.(In a thickening all you do is add the right amount of cornstarch and then add enough water to make a small paste. This will help thicken your sauce up.)

This is probably one the the easiest Gluten Free Dishes I make and it reheats so well! This dish also reheats really well, so make extras and have leftovers!

    That sounds like a delicious meal. My sister in law is GF, so I might have to make this the next time they come over for dinner.

    I've started to cook GF recipes as my son has some tummy issues. It looks like my whole family would love this recipe. The rice looks fluffy and the chicken sounds easy to make.
