I Love Me Some Bandwagon

That's right, I'm jumping on. Before you read any further, however, I must ask you: "Are you a fan of delicious flavor"?** If so, then try this. It's from Mel over at Kitchen Cafe. Though normally I improvise a bit in the kitchen, I decided to make this one just as the directions said, seeing as how it looked easy and delicious. So. Blasted. Delicious. I would highly recommend it. I hope you all make it and love it as much as I did. Oh, and definitely make the extra sauce. You'll want to lick that tangy, gooey goodness out of the bowl.


Sweet and Sour Chicken

*Note: if you like extra sauce, double the sauce ingredients - pour half over the chicken and follow the baking directions in the recipe and pour the other half in a small saucepan. Cook the sauce on the stovetop at medium heat for 8-10 minutes until it simmers and thickens. Serve it on the side of the chicken.
*Serves 4-6

Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

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 (below) together and pour over chicken.

Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes so it is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve the chicken over rice.

**10 points if you can tell me what tv show this quote is from.
