By flour_arrangements

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
• 1/8-1/4 cup water
• 1/3 about 1/3 cup pineapple juice (the juice of one 8 1/2 ounce can of pineapples)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup corn starch
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup canola oil, for frying the chicken
• salt and pepper
• 6 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/4 pounds chicken tenderloin, cubed

Preparation

Step 1

Scramble the egg in a medium bowl.

Dip the chicken into the bowl.

Add the corn starch to another bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper; dip the chicken in the corn starch after dipping it in the egg.

Fry in the canola oil until golden.

Combine the rest of the ingredients in a sauce pan (sugar, water, pineapple juice, soy sauce, egg, apple cider vinegar, and ketchup). Simmer until it slightly thickens.

Bake the chicken in the oven at 350 in a covered casserole dish for about 40 minutes. Then remove from the oven and pour the sauce on top. Put back in the oven uncovered for about 15 more minutes.
