Baking for two hours seems like an awfully long time for already-fried boneless, skinless chicken ...

This is my families favorite Sweet and Sour Chicken.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Batter:
1 egg
3/4 cup ice cold water
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon accent
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
Mix egg and water together, add the rest of ingredients, mix together by hand. Do not over mix, some lumps will remain. Add cubed up chicken (not to large) stir.
Carefully drop chicken into hot oil, do not crowd the chicken. You do not want them to all stick together. Fry until golden brown and chicken is cooked. Keep warm in oven while cooking other batches.
Sweet And Sour Sauce
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoon Ketchup
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup water
Mix all ingredients together in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until sauce is thick and bubbly.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit for sure. I had to make 2 batches of the sauce - the second batch coming out much thicker then the first. I don't think I put enough cornstarch in the 1st time. I loved the chicken as did my oldest son. Hubby said I can definitely make it again. I am sharing a pic. You cannot see the sauce - but it is there. I should have taken a pic of it with the 2nd sauce batch.
I prepared it with white rice. Looked like what you get at a Chinese restaurant. I even have some leftover for my mom to try. She should be so proud of me - I made something different. LOL
Thanks so much for the recipe. It was delish! Now I have to find one for War Su Gai!
