Homemade Take-out!


Sweet and Sour Chicken
This was a complete experiement, but I made this last night, and my family loved it!


2 large chicken breasts - cut into 2-3" pieces
1 bottle favorite sweet and sour sauce
batter for chicken:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup ice water
Yellow food coloring (optional)
Oil for deep frying
Sift together the dry ingredients.Beat egg slightly and mix with the water and a few drops of the food coloring, if desired.Add the dry ingredients. Stir only until mixed; mixture will be slightly lumpy.Dip cut chicken into the batter and deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Heat sweet and sour sauce in the microwave and pour over chicken. Garnish with chunks of pineapple.
Serve with chicken fried rice (lipton has a quick and easy one that's pretty yummy!)
