This recipe is a family favorite (even my brother Matt who is the pickiest eater in the world will eat it). It's almost like the real deal at a Chinese Restaurant!
3 lbs. chicken
2-4 eggs
cornstarch
garlic salt
Sauce:
2-3 tsp. chili sauce/sambal oelek (*see picture below*)
1 1 /2 cup sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tsp. soy sauce
3/4 cup chicken broth
6 T. brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
dash of salt
Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces and sprinkle with garlic salt and let it set for 30 minutes. Dip the chicken pieces into the eggs and then cornstarch. Brown chicken in oil, but don't cook all the way. Put in 9x13 pan. Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Bake at 350 form 45-1 hour. Stir chicken at least twice while cooking. Serve with rice.
This is the sambal oelek, found in the Asian isle in most grocery stores. It my opinion, it is critical to creating a great sauce for this recipe. You can use as much or little as you like depending on how spicy you like it.

Ooh, that looks good, I'm going to have to make that this week.
I finally made it. However, I thought it said 2-3 TABLESPOONS of the pepper sauce. Oops. We enjoyed it, but our mouths were on fire. We had lots of leftovers, so I had to pass them on to the Anderson's because they have tastebuds that could handle that much heat. I'll make it again, but I won't put nearly as much of that sauce in.
