Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together rice vinegar, white vinegar, tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, minced garlic, and soy sauce to prepare the sweet and sour sauce. Set aside.

-
Prepare Chicken: Cut boneless chicken breast halves into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, beat an egg. Dip the chicken pieces in the beaten egg, then roll them in cornstarch until evenly coated.
-
Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels.
-
Bake Chicken: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the fried chicken pieces in a baking pan. Pour the prepared sweet and sour sauce over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
-
Turn Chicken: Every 15 or 20 minutes during baking, turn the chicken pieces over to ensure even coating and browning.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven. Serve hot with steamed vegetables or rice boiled with turmeric for a vibrant and flavorful accompaniment.
-
Bonus Tip: This recipe works wonderfully with chicken wings too! Simply follow the same steps for coating and baking for a finger-licking good appetizer or main dish.
