Yummy Orange Chicken

So this recipe is one that Josh and I got from Becky Holdaways' Mom. Oh my. It is wonderful. :) This has been our new favorite dinner. We have had it at least once a week since we have been here:)

Ingredients:
-6 to 7 Skinless boneless chicken breast cut into your bite size chunks(for the two of us, we use about 4) *Oh and another tip.. we have found that if we buy fresh chicken vs your freezer chicken, it tastes a lot better
-Garlic Salt
-2 to 3 eggs(may need more depending on how much chicken you are making)
-Cornstarch

Directions:
-Dip chicken in cornstarch seasoned with garlic salt.
-Then dip the chicken into beaten eggs.
-Fry in oil until chicken is brown on both sides.(It is just a slight golden brown when we take it out of the oil)
-Put chicken in baking pan
-Pour sauce over chicken

*Tip: Josh and I usually do this together just to speed up the process. We cut up the chicken then have two bowls. One for the cornstarch and one for the eggs. Roll the chicken around in the cornstarch til its covered then put it into the eggs. Take chicken piece out of the eggs and fry it in the hot oil. Like Scones:) kinda.. lol.

Sauce: (For Josh and I, we double the sauce ingredients.. And when serving four.. we triple it)
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Salt

Mix together and pour over chicken
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (uncovered)

Serve over Rice.

*Ha another funny tip, keep the fan blowing above your stove.. Helps with the smell of frying. Jordan may comment on how it smells like Fish and Chips.. haha. Its worth it though!! Josh and I just open windows and let fans blow in fresh air:)
