A delicious sweet and sour sauce simply made with ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce is baked into breading of fried chicken thighs. Most often requested recipe of my family. Worth the effort every time. Serve over white rice.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Chicken
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 8 (5 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1 pinch onion salt, or to taste
- 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Prepare chicken: Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Combine cornstarch and garlic salt in a second shallow bowl.
Step 3
Dip chicken in egg, then press in cornstarch mixture to coat.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides, sprinkling with onion salt, garlic salt, and pepper while frying, 3 to 5 minutes. Place browned chicken in a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Step 5
Make sauce: Combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour sauce over chicken.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 40 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
