< Picture 1 of 1 >
This has been a favorite birthday meal for our kids throughout the years.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite-size pieces
  • .75 tbsp baking powder
  • .75 cup cornstarch
  • .75 cup flour
  • .25 tsp yellow food coloring
  • 1.5 tbsp oil
  • 1.25 cups water
  • .5 tsp salt

Sauce:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • .25 cup white vinegar
  • .25 cup pineapple juice
  • .125 tsp red food coloring
  • Dash garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch, more or less for desired consistency

Steps

  1. Make a thin batter of the baking powder, cornstarch, flour, yellow food coloring, oil, water and salt. Dip chicken into the batter and drop into hot 350F oil. Deep fry until chicken is done and lightly golden brown. Fry pieces in batches to maintain the oil temperature. Drain on paper towel and keep warm in oven.
  2. In a small saucepan, make sauce, stirring in enough cornstarch to get desired dipping sauce consistency. Bring to a boil and stir till thickened. Thin with pineapple juice if needed.
  3. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
