Sweet and Sour Crispy Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
1
Combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch in a bowl to create a smooth mixture. Gradually add cold water while stirring until the marinade is fully incorporated and free of lumps. Add sliced ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper to the bowl and mix until well combined.
2
Next, place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade and gently stir to coat each piece evenly.
3
Transfer the chicken and marinade mixture to a 9x9-inch square baking dish, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh and refrigerate for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the chicken and marinade in the preheated oven, where it will cook until the meat reaches a safe internal temperature and juices run clear.
5
Bake for approximately 40 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
