Sweet & Sour Chicken

Sauce:

• 1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 3/4 c. ketchup
• juice from a can of pineapple chunks (set pineapple aside)
• 2 slices of ginger root
• mix above ingredients, then add:
• 1/4 c. cornstarch + 3/4 water (premixed) to thicken sauce

Batter for the chicken:

• 1 c. corn starch
• 1 c. flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• mix above ingredients...
  
• starting with 1 c. water, stir into dry ingredients, add enough water to make a pancake batter consistency

The amount of chicken you use is up to you- to feed my family of 6 (4 kids, 2 adults) I use about 3-4 chicken breasts, cut into bite size chunks- coat with batter and deep fry. Place in a bowl lined with paper towels.

I usually start the sauce, and let it simmer while I deep fry the chicken.

Serve chicken with steamed veggies (broccoli, onions, carrots, bell peppers, etc.) & pineapple on top of cooked rice, drizzle with S&S sauce. Enjoy!
