This is easily my favorite dish that my mother-in-law makes. I have never made it before because I always thought it was really hard. When I finally braved it, I found it wasn’t hard at all. In fact, it is super easy! This meal is easiest made in an electric skillet.
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. chicken broth (or water and a bouillon cube)
- 3 tbs ketchup
- 3 tbs soy sauce
- 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.)
Super easy and yummy. This dish also reheats really well, so make extras and have leftovers!
Yum! I'll have to try this sometime.
My kids love this so much! Thanks for the recipe.
