Sweet & Sour Chicken
4 each chicken breasts cut into 1" cubes
2 each eggs beaten with 1 Tbsp. milk
cornstarch
cooking oil for frying
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 small can pineapple chunks in juice -- do not drain
1/4 cup pineapple juice
3 Tablespoons ketchup -- 3 to 4 Tbsp.
1 teaspoon msg -- optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
Roll chicken pieces in cornstarch to coat then dip in egg. Deep fry in Dutch oven with 1 - 2 inches of oil at 340 to 375 degrees. Don't over crowd and turn to cook both sides. When all the chicken has been cooked, remove cooking oil and return the chicken back to the Dutch oven. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over the top of the chicken. Cook until thickened, about 10 - 15 minutes. If you like the sauce thicker, mix water and cornstarch together and add while cooking to make thicker. Serve over rice.
