Delicious Chicken in Sweet and Sour Sauce

Start by washing the chicken breasts and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure to trim any excess fat and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help the batter stick better.

Next, set the chicken aside while you prepare the batter.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, paprika, dried garlic, salt, black pepper, and chili pepper. These spices will add flavor to your dish.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the cold water. Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.

Take each piece of chicken and dip it into the batter, ensuring that it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before proceeding.

Next, roll the battered chicken pieces in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs well.

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. You will need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan generously.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the skillet. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remember to fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

While the chicken is frying, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey.

Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally until everything is well combined. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes to develop the flavors.

Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the chicken hot, drizzled or dipped in the sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy your delicious chicken in sweet and sour sauce with family and friends!
